 “How to Get Published”

  Saturday, April 17
10 a.m. - 4 p.m.
Community Room in Your Independent Grocers
290 First Street North, Gravenhurst

If you've ever dreamed of becoming a published author, this workshop is for you.  We’ll cover everything from getting started to getting an agent, from getting your short pieces published to finding a book publisher, from writing a query letter to writing that the publishers want. Bring your questions.  Come and get ready to be published!

Workshop leader Brian Henry has been a book editor and creative writing teacher
for more than 25 years.  He has helped many of his students get their first book
published and launch their careers as authors.

Special Option:  Participants are invited to bring a draft of a query letter you might
use to interest an agent or publisher in your book.  You don’t need to bring anything,
but if you do, 3 copies could be helpful.

Fee: $39.05 plus gst = $41 paid in advance or $42.86 plus gst = $45 if you wait to pay at the door

The Sudbury Writers’ Guild presents...
 “Writing and Revising”

Sunday, May 30
10 a.m. - 4 p.m.
Sudbury YMCA, in the ParkSide Centre

If you want to refine your story-telling skills and cut the time you will need to
spend editing, this workshop is for you.  You'll learn how to step back from a
manuscript in order to find – and fix – flaws in your plot, structure, characterization
and style.  You'll learn how to rethink, rework and rewrite so that your manuscript will
live up to your vision.

Special Option:  Participants are invited to bring a piece of their own writing (though ou don’t have to!)  If you do bring a piece, bring 3 copies of something short (1,500 ords absolute maximum, though 800 words or fewer is better).

       $35.24 plus gst = $37 paid in advance  or $42.86 plus gst = $45 if you wait to pay at the door

Fee for members of the general public: $39.05 plus gst = $41 paid in advance
