Hotel Charlotte
WRITING TO GET PUBLISHED
WORKSHOP:
The team at Hotel Charlotte is thrilled
to have Bill Manville back on board this
winter to lead our 3-day Writers
Workshop, Writing to get Published on
March 15, 16, 17 & 18. (Now in our
third year, join this successful
program!)
Who is Bill Manville?
Former Village Voice columnist, and
editor for Helen Gurley Brown at
Cosmo, author of six books published
by major New York houses (one a
Book-of-the-Month) and columnist
for the New York Daily News, Bill now
teaches Writing to Get Published for
Temple University, in Philadelphia.
“The question students ask most often
is, 'What do New York agents,
magazine editors and book publishers
look for in new writers?' I designed
this workshop to give you a straight
hands-on answer—so don't forget
your laptop.”
The Course (from Bill):
This is a three-day course, with a new
lesson and writing assignment each
night. The only prerequisite is a love of
reading, a desire to write and get
yourself published by a big New York
house. I do not guarantee that will
happen. I can guarantee to maximize
your chances.
There are three How To books used as
text. The first is Aspects of the Novel,
by E.M. Forster, one of the great
writers of the 20th century. I know no
more expert overview of the interplay
of character, plot and writing style that
go into the making of a successful
novel. The second is The First Five
Pages, by Noah Lukeman, a very
knowing New York agent and editor.
His subtitle tells you why: "A Writer's
Guide to Staying out of the Rejection
Pile." The day class starts, you will get
the third, free, via email -- my own
Writing to Get Published Student's
Hand-book. When I feel I've given
some topic too short shrift in our
classroom, I'll give you a key word to
FIND where I go into it in more detail.
