Weekend Writing Prompt Time!

Submission Time

Okay team, I'm ready. If you have a book you are working on, now is a great time to join the community. It's limited to ten writers and we're at six now.

If you're ready to follow through and finish your book, sign up, and this weekend, I'll ask you to send in 20 pages. Add 3-5 specific questions you'd like me to address. I'll also highlight words and phrases and images that strike me and linger in me as a reader.

Send all manuscripts as Word document (.doc/.docx)
Font: Times Roman, Arial, or Courier, 12 point
Margins: 1 inch on all sides
Paragraph indentation: 0.5 inches
Left justification; one space between sentences
First page: your name and contact information in the top left corner
Manuscript evaluation: double-spaced

Then next week, I'll email you my responses and notations on the Word doc. I'll use one or two of your questions or topics in the community chat here - but still respect your privacy so don't worry.

I will ask you to sit with my email a while before replying.

Mid month, so, around Sept 15th, each one of you will be able to sign up for a 45 minute live Zoom call to talk about the book and/or next steps or other writerly things that are on your mind.

The last two weeks of each month, you (we) post questions to the group, share ideas, help each other, offer tips and work on our own stories.

And repeat the first weekend in October. Submit. Reply. Meeting. Practice.
