Description
Prepare to Publish is a generative writing group with a little more focused critique than other Writing It Up in the Garden workshops. This group grew out of Nerissa’s Weeding & Pruning manuscript group and is for experienced writers only. To apply, please send a published piece, and/or a writing sample and a letter of introduction to Nerissand@gmail.com.
Unlock your publishing potential in our dynamic “Prepare to Publish” writing workshop. This generative group is designed for writers ready to take the next step toward seeing their work in print. Our supportive critique environment includes writing time, sharing of work by reading up to 500 words aloud, and receiving constructive feedback in a positive, collaborative setting. Beyond refining your writing, the group will brainstorm and explore potential publications, helping you identify the perfect platform for your piece. Join us to polish your work and discover where it belongs in the literary world!
