Mary Ann de Stefano of MAD about Words will host a workshop at Winter Park Library on Saturday, February 21st at 10 a.m. You won’t want to miss this!

From First to Final Draft: Opening the Door

In On Writing, Stephen King endorses the advice he received from a favorite writing teacher: “Write with the door closed, rewrite with the door open.” In this session, you’ll learn about the various stages of manuscript development, when to go it alone, and when to share your work in progress. You’ll take away ideas for approaching revision solo and tips to help you receive the best kind of support and feedback from an editor, beta readers, or a writing group.
