Get inside the mind
of the narrator
|
|
|
In this 38-minute tutorial, author Vincent
Zandri talks about ditching the idea of playing God in your stories and
focusing on getting inside the mind of the narrator. There's a reason
first-person video games are so popular. Read More...

As many writers
know, agents and editors won't give your work more than ten pages or so to
make an impact. If you haven't got them hooked by then, it's a safe bet you
won't be asked for more material. Make sure you've got the kind of opening
they're looking for! In this invaluable event, you'll get to work with an
agent online to review and refine the first ten pages of your novel. You'll
learn what keeps an agent reading, what are the most common mistakes that
make them stop, and the steps you need to take to correct them. The best part
is that you'll be working directly with an agent, who will provide feedback
specific to your work.
|
|
On Thursday morning,
May 17, you will gain online access to a special 60-minute online tutorial
presented by agent and editor Paula Munier. It will help you clarify what you
should be looking for in your work.
You will also be notified by email which agent you'll be working with on the
start date, 5/17, by 5 pm ET. While we accept agent requests,
we cannot guarantee that you'll be assigned to that agent. All agents have
the ability to provide feedback in all genres.
|
|
Students may take
Thursday and Friday to revise their pages, which are due to be sent to their
assigned agent no later than 10:00
am (ET) on Saturday morning, May 19th. (The word count of
submissions is strictly limited to 2500 words and it should be submitted in
the body of their email, not as attachments). Participating agents from
Talcott Notch Literary include Paula Munier, Gina Panettieri, and Saba
Sulaiman. (All times noted are Eastern Time).
|
|
All pages with notes
will be returned to participants by
10:00 AM (ET) Sunday morning (May 20th). You'll work to
revise your pages based on the agent's specific feedback.
|
|
On Sunday, May 20th
from 1 pm - 4 pm ET,
Paula, Gina, and Saba will host an online discussion board. This is your
golden opportunity to ask your burning questions about craft and improving
your writing, as well as industry topics like trends, markets, working with
agents and more. Keep in mind, this is a lively, fast-paced learning
environment which will give you an immense opportunity to learn not only from
your faculty but from the other participants' questions, so please pose
questions which won't require your instructor to stop the discussion to
reread your boot camp submission in the middle of the Q&A, but otherwise,
consider the faculty your treasure trove of industry secrets at your
disposal!
|
|
By 11:59 PM (ET) Sunday night on May 20th,
you'll return your final revised pages to your assigned agent for review.
Agents will spend the next week reading the revised submissions assigned to
them and will provide a final brief one-or-two sentence critique of your
progress no later than May
29th. Any one of them may ask for additional pages if the
initial submission shows serious promise.
|
|
*All attendees
should have the first 10 pages of their novel finished and ready to submit to
the agent prior to the beginning of the event.
|
|
In addition to
feedback from Paula, Gina, or Saba, attendees will have access to "An
Agent's Tips on Story Structures that Sell," an on-demand webinar by
Andrea Hurst.
