MORE EVENTS IN THE WORKS!

Want to commit to your writing but find it hard to stick to a routine? Are you sabotaged by self-doubt? Do you want to feel more confident in your writing process?

Carol Goodman, author of twenty-seven novels and two-time winner of the Mary Higgins Clark Award, will share methods she’s developed over twenty-five years of writing to counteract the most common obstacles to writing. This workshop will help writers at every stage and phase. Come prepared to write!

We're returning to Lord Stirling Park for another full day devoted to your writing. Join this hugely popular, now semi-annual event where you'll be inspired to write in the peace and beauty of a truly magical location. Tuck into the comfort of the Environmental Education Center or take a spot on the deck overlooking placid Branta Pond. Enjoy nature walks to inspire your work. Join us for creativity sparking prompts, meditation, and much more.

~Tuition includes breakfast and lunch~

Optional: Receive individual critiques on your work from one of TWC’s author-instructors.

Literary agents and editors hold the keys to the literary realm, whether you're dreaming of publishing with a “Big Five” house (Penguin Random House, Hachette Book Group, HarperCollins, Simon & Schuster, and Macmillan) or with smaller mainstream publishers. They advocate for their writers throughout every step of the process--from submission to editorial to launch--and help their authors craft a career. Their thorough understanding of the publishing landscape, as well as personal and professional contacts, are critical to your success and their own. 

This very special “Publishing Pros Panel & Pitch” event features three well-established literary professionals who will discuss the rapidly changing literary landscape, what gets their attention and what turns them off, and the best way to work toward literary success.

• Marietta Zacker, Gallt & Zacker Literary Agency, focusing on Children's, Middle-Grade, and Young Adult fiction
• Diana Ventimiglia, Hachette Book Group, focusing on Nonfiction and Memoir
• Callie Deitrick, Wendy Sherman Associates, focusing on Literary Fiction

Following the panel and Q&A, participants may opt to present a 10-minute pitch for their manuscript to one of the speakers. Please review full details on the next page before registering for a pitch slot.
