101 Tips To Make Your Novel More Publishable
We attend workshops and we study the basics, and we never get enough of the fundamentals. But when we read the truly gifted and successful, the bestsellers, the award winners, the work of the old pros, we see little touches that seem to transcend the basics, things that look easy in the hands of the pros but are elusive when we try for them ourselves. In this workshop, we'll survey many of the "little things" writers can do to infuse their work with energy and originality, and avoid subtle pitfalls that brand the work that of a beginner.
