AAMP welcomes Annamarie Beckel for the second in our Next Step Workshop Series

 

Preparing your Manuscript for Submission

Tuesday, May 1, 7:30PM at Admiralty House Museum.

Annamarie's workshop description: You’ve been working on it for years and you’ve finally completed the manuscript for your novel, poetry collection, or non-fiction book. You’ve edited the manuscript for the hundredth time, and now you’re ready to submit it to a publisher or agent. What next? In this workshop we’ll talk about how to find agents and publishers and how to select the ones that are most appropriate for your work. You’ll also learn how to increase the odds that your manuscript receives the kind of attention it deserves. We’ll discuss the submissions process in detail and how to submit your manuscript in the most professional way possible.         Annamarie Beckel  A former managing editor for Breakwater Books Ltd., Annamarie Beckel has published the novels All Gone Widdun, Dancing in the Palm of His Hand, and Silence of Stone (released in 2010 as Les voix de l’île) as well as the non-fiction book Breaking New Waters: A Century of Limnology at the University of Wisconsin.
