THE WRITERS INSTITUTE
Save the Date! May 2 - 5, 2012
Four days of intensive workshops on fiction, nonfiction, poetry, publishing, and more! All of them taught by respected visiting authors and agents in the heart of downtown Miami at the Wolfson Campus of Miami Dade College.
Quality workshops? Of course, but the Writers Institute is so much more:
• Publishing Seminar – How To Get Published Successfully with Arielle Eckstut and David Henry Sterry
• Manuscript Consultations – Get feedback on your manuscript in one-on-one sessions with the Ryan D. Harbage, Erin Hosier or Melissa Sarver. Space is limited.
• Lunchtime Reads – Each day, gather for lunch and hear Writers Institute faculty read from their work.
• Pitch-o-Rama 2012! – On Saturday, May 5, practice the art of the one-minute pitch before a panel of industry pros. Get feedback on your book idea and free advice.
