New year, new WIP? Join us for tips and tricks to get your WIP into shape!

ORW authors will be on-hand to help you out with the following topics:

Brainstorming (Christine Gallimore and Lucy Farago)

Stuck on your WIP? Unsure of where to take the plot? Have your characters worked themselves into a corner and you don’t know how to get them out? Bring all of your WIP problems to our brainstorming clinic!

First page critiques (Jenn Burke and Jennifer Carole Lewis)

Bring the first pages of your WIPs and let the Jenns help! The first pages of a manuscript are the most important, because that’s how you hook editors, agents…and readers. We’ll be gentle, we promise.

Self-publishing tools (Eve Langlais and Mandy Rosko)

Confused about the best tools to use for self-publishing? Or maybe you’ve got questions about formatting. Whatever your self-publishing questions, our experts can help.

** This event was rescheduled from January 2020.
