Over decades working on literally thousands of manuscripts, Iâve noticed a handful of specific areas where stories may most commonly stumble or lose their way, the likeliest culprits for a manuscript that may feel as if it just isnât coming together, or isnât as effective as it can be, or isnât getting requests from agents or editors.
Just as an editor can objectively âdiagnoseâ what may be keeping a story from being as effective and compelling as possible, you can learn to spot these common mistakes in your own manuscripts, and ways to address them to ensure that your story is as effective and complete on the page as it is in your head.
If you're not getting the kind of response from your writing and stories that you want to, it may be because of one (or more!) of these common mistakes. This live webinar offers an overview of these prevalent pitfalls and actionable ways to address themâa diagnostic clinic to help you pinpoint and resolve any ailments in your stories that may be hampering their effectiveness, keeping you stuck, or holding you back in your craft and career.
This live webinar will help you figure out what might be holding your story back, and teach you practical, actionable tools and techniques for addressing those areas and making your stories as strong as they can be.
