Writers become stronger and more successful when they band together and network.
Registering to come to MWW is a commitment of resources, both financial and time-wise. But... it's also a commitment to you... and your writing career!

Treat yourself to one day or three days with nothing to do except think, eat, and sleep writing!

The Thursday Intensive Session, "Feature Writing for More Money," with Eric Butterman has OPENINGS AVAILABLE.

This is how he describes his session, "Feature writing has long been a key part in having a successful writing career. Whether it's getting top sources or interviewing well, it can feel like a struggle. Well, struggle no more. We'll break down every aspect of the process to complete a quality article in a lot less time. Turn half-hour interviews into 15 minutes, learn exercises that turn a procrastinator into a pro, and become the confident writer you've always wanted to be."
Submit a query letter to agent

Diane Freed, literary agent with FinePrint Literary Management, has modified her topic for her session on Saturday, 3:15 - 4:15.

Diane has TWO SLOTS AVAILABLE -- (If you are currently preparing a query letter and would like it critiqued in this session, please e-mail it to Jama by July 15. She will then forward it to Diane who'll review it prior to class discussion.)

"Your Ticket in the Door: A Winning Query Letter," Diane Freed -- Whether you're writing fiction or nonfiction, you'll begin your search for an agent with a query letter. A well-prepared one makes all the difference in getting to the next level: a request for manuscript. Learn what turns on, and turns off, agents when reading a query letter.
