On Monday, February 18 you can learn “How to Write a Book”. Your friends have told you, “You ought to write a book!” This seminar guides you through the specific steps in developing a novel or non-fiction manuscript.
Discover the steps in manuscript development, from idea to completion. You’ll also learn how to develop a solid book proposal and how to approach an agent. You’ll leave with a much clearer idea on how to get the book inside of you onto paper or computer, and then into the hands of a publisher. Register for Class # 46343. Cost is $35. Class runs from 6 – 9 p.m.
