Fat Plum's Book Boot Camp is Back!
What is Book Boot Camp? It is an intensive six-week workshop designed to take your work in progress from mediocre to marketable!
To quote yesterday's Publisher's Lunch, the newsletter of www.PublishersMarketplace.com, it read, "Even in the digital age, the power of meeting face-to-face cannot be underestimated."
While this quote was in reference to attending the London Book Fair, the writer was correct. Face-to-face meetings can be a powerful way to impact your writing.
Book Boot Camp's small group sessions offer writers targeted feedback specific to individual writing projects with a focus on improving the manuscript, taking it to the next level. Constructive, targeted suggestions cover content, editing, and marketing concerns.
The format is positive and comfortable yet focused and intense. Each attendee will read aloud from his/her work in progress each week and receive specific suggestions to be applied to the writing project. Other workshops often invite attendees to read only once or twice over the duration of the course. At Fat Plum's Book Boot Camp, we're hitting your project hard each week, shaping it into a more readable, marketable manuscript by the end.
There will be a maximum of 8 attendees in the session. By keeping the group small, each reader will receive plenty of individual critique time each week!
Due to the stressed economy, we at Fat Plum decided to keep the cost of the Boot Camp the same as it has been since 2007. The fee is $240 for six three-hour sessions.
