The Manuscript’s Journey

fwa

Cindy Campbell knows a lot about editing fiction, but she learned even more, including insights to her own writing strengths and weaknesses, when she became an author. Join us Wednesday, April 6th at 6:30 p.m. at the University Club in Winter Park to learn an editor’s suggestions for preparing a manuscript for submission or publication. The top 3 things participants will learn:

  1. General GPS (Grammar, Punctuation, Spelling) rules, including Dos and Don’ts,
  2. Suggestions for writing realistic dialogue (and determining when/how to use tags), and
  3. An insider’s view of why fiction manuscripts get rejected.

The meeting is free and open to the public. Contact Rik Feeney at usabookcoach@gmail.com for more information.
