For writers in any genre who are ready to make a strategic plan for getting their work published and building a sustainable writing career.

Each morning we will gather for three hours to learn about every aspect of publishing, establish goals and expectations for finding and sharing our work with readers, and outline a step-by-step plan for approaching publishers with our work. We will develop a deeper understanding of our own writing as we learn how to write about ourselves and our own projects. In these daily workshops we will create compelling elevator pitches, query letters, plot summaries, and author bios that will entice potential publishers. Students will leave with a personal publishing plan and everything they need to identify markets for their work and submit it to literary magazines, small presses, and literary agents as well as writing contests, grants, and residencies.

Each student will also meet for a one-hour private session to identify publishing and contest/grant opportunities that are tailored to the student’s writing. We will also leave plenty of time to write and be inspired in beautiful Chamonix-Mont-Blanc.

This is a rare opportunity to learn from publishing experts who have over twenty-five years of experience in the business and an unrivaled understanding of the literary landscape.
