A 1-Day Business of Writing Panel
Saturday, March 22, 10 AM - 12 PM
As an assistant editor of The Masters Review, Dupree reads hundreds of submissions every month. This presentation will help you sus out what editors are looking for (plot, scene, compelling characters, the "why" of a story), tell you what drives us crazy (narrative frames, terrible endings, stories that are anecdotes and not really stories), and give you tips on getting your manuscript submission-ready so that it finds its way out into the world.
$45 Members/$70 Nonmembers
