Mentoring Program to Begin

Hi, everyone.

I’m going to be teaching a writing class through Savvy Authors’ mentoring program, January 25 through April 10, 2016. The scope of the “lessons” is basically soup to nuts, and includes the following modules:

Lesson 1 – Setting Goals

Lesson 2 – Learning the Tropes

Lesson 3 – Character Profiles

Lesson 4 – Point of View

Lesson 5 – Plotting

Lesson 6 – Great Openings

Lesson 7 – Writing the First Draft: Tips & Tricks

Lesson 8 – Word Choice and Sentence Construction

Lesson 9 – The First Round of Editing

Week 10 – 2nd/Final Round of Self-Editing

Lesson 11 – The Synopsis & The Pitch

Week 12 – Media Kits

With additional discussions on:

Writing “To the Market” vs. Literary Fiction

Parsing Amazon-speak

Series

Finding a New Publisher or Agent

We can talk about anything you need to know and don’t have to stick to this lesson plan exclusively. The idea is to give you personalized attention to solve your writing problems.

If you’re a reader who wants to become a writer, this is a good place to start. If you’re a reader who knows a writer who’s struggling, send her/him my way. Or if you’re a writer who needs a little TLC, come on over and tell me your woes.

This is not a free class. It has a significant price tag, but how many twelve-week writing classes do you know of with personalized attention, a comprehensive syllabus, and only three students? This isn’t like a “boot camp” either. The lessons are fluid and the process is more laid back. There’s homework, but it’s not onerous at all; no one is going to ask you to draft a whole book during the course, but if you want to, nothing will impede you.

Here’s where you sign up: Savvy Authors – Patricia Green Mentoring.

There are only three spots available, and the class starts on Monday, so sign up soon or miss your opportunity. I don’t teach this class every quarter, and I don’t have a plan for another one in the near-term.

I hope to help you or your friends soon.
