How Do I Know When My Manuscript is Ready?
Knowing when to go public and make the big reveal — it’s an art to itself
SEPTEMBER 14
How Do I Know When I’m Ready to Submit my Manuscript?
- Master Class II
Everything comes down to four basics. Let’s examine each one and solve it for your project:
Your Manuscript - the length, the topic, the style, its place in the world.
Your Timing - the timing of book releases and their preliminary pitches is an art.
Your Allies - Your early readers, editors, support. Not always obvious!
Your Pitch - We all make fun of the practice, but how do you tell an agent or publisher with a miniature attention span, the what and why of your story? Is writing the pitch going to hold up the whole parade? Let’s dig in.
Before class, I’ll ask you to send me a quick note on what you’re thinking of submitting or writing next, maybe what happened last time you got close to the stage.
I’ll use the participant stories anonymously in the workshop, making composite examples out of what everyone confides to me. That way, you’ll get the nitty gritty breakdown without having to uncloak, so to speak. I want you to gain exactly what is on your mind!
