On Saturday, May 11th, on the Rutgers-New Brunswick campus, I am hosting a novel-writing boot camp. The day features one-hour workshops from acclaimed novelists Jami Attenberg, Gretchen Felker-Martin, James Hannaham, and Brandon Taylor; a masterclass by Benjamin Dreyer, the chief copy editor of Random House for more than thirty years, on how to copy edit yourself and produce tight, clean prose, and a session with literary agent Johanna Castillo on what to expect when you’re expecting an agent. The day ends “The ABCs of Novel Writing,” my workshop on taking a novel from idea to finished book.
The boot camp costs $50, lunch included. I hope you’ll join us. See the full schedule and register here or at the link in my stories: https://ow.ly/TuEY50Rwbmj
