A lot of FIRSTS for this year's NOVEL BEGINNINGS WORKSHOP

Dear Friends,

K.L. Going and I are really excited about our Highlights Foundation workshop this August, and we think you’ll be really excited about Novel Beginnings, too! We have a lot of “firsts” lined up for you that we can’t wait to share:

--You can submit up to the First 50 pages of your novel to be edited before the workshop, and Kelly and I will meet with each attendee one on one to go over your pages with you.

--Our guest editor this year is Liz Kossnar and in addition to her presentation, Using the Market to Your Benefit: Looking at how elevator pitches and comp titles help build the picture of your project, attendees will have an opportunity to sign up to meet with Liz for a one on one, on the spot, review of a First chapter.

--Jennie Dunham, our literary agent will do a Q & A, and when we meet for our final wrap-up session, she’ll do an on the spot critique of First pages! 

That’s a lot of Firsts and a lot of great feedback for writers attending Novel Beginnings! Plus Great food, charming accommodations, and stimulating workshops. Plus, K.L. has exciting updates to share about her new MG novel, The Next Great Jane, coming Summer of 2020 from PenguinRandom House Publishers.

Sign up soon. August is just around the corner.
