You’ve just typed the last line in your novel. Now what? You know you should let it sit awhile before you gaze at your brilliance. But you can’t. You pick it up and decide that it’s ready to send out. Children everywhere should have your story on their shelves. Editors and publishing houses will fight over your work. You can see the headlines in the newspapers now “Cat Fight Over Debut Novelist.”
Actually I guess that could happen. But highly unlikely. More likely you’ll see something like this:
We regret to inform you that we are passing on your book, WHO DUN IT.
And to get you even more excited about the leadership you’ll receive at this workshop, check out a recent interview by Donna Bowman Bratton with PJ Hoover (Texas Sweetheart) and Meredith Davis, and don’t miss her other blog posts on critiquing with authors, Emily Kristin Anderson and Lindsey Lane and Samantha Clark, Shelley Ann Jackson and Cynthia Levinson .
