Writer’s Digest University: Editors’ Intensive
Your exclusive chance to learn first-hand from publishing experts!

Cincinnati, OH

For the first time ever, WD Headquarters open its doors and invited attendees to take part in exclusive panel discussions and manuscript critiques featuring these top editors:

Jane Friedman, Publisher & Editorial Director, Writer’s Digest
Chuck Sambuchino, Editor, Guide to Literary Agents
Alice Pope, Editor, Children’s Writer’s & Illustrator’s Market
Joe Stollenwerk, Director, WritersOnlineWorkshops.com

During a full-day’s worth of workshops, attendees received insider tips to help them publish their work in today’s competitive market. They discovered how to…

> Research and identify the right agent
> Craft a killer one-page novel query
> Write a bulletproof nonfiction book proposal
> Avoid career sabotage and move faster down the publishing path
> Break into tough markets and get responses from busy editors and agents

Best of all, each attendee had the chance to meet one-on-one with a WD editor who provided an individual critique of either a query letter and proposal package (up to 50 pages), or the first 50 pages of a manuscript—plus all attendees received a customized list of best-bet markets for selling their work!

The event also featured door prizes, fun freebies and an onsite bookstore with special discounts and sales.
