click image to open flyer

Registration Open Now
Writers take all sorts of classes on craft: character building, plotting, thematic elements, etc. BUT what you need to know beyond that is THE INDUSTRY. If you want to see your book on the bookstore shelves, you have to be a student of the business of publishing.

Whether you’re just getting started or you have a completed draft, knowing how to pitch and present your novel is imperative! Your query and first 10 pages are your foot in the publishing door.

Thinking you don’t need that yet because you’re still writing the novel? You know the adage, “Dress for the job you want?” You should be writing for the place on the bookshelf you want.

Start figuring that out for sure now and it will make everything you do in the future easier. So, yeah, this workshop IS for you—whatever stage your novel is in!

In Consequence Volume 17.1, a theme emerges of how affecting a difference doesn’t only have to happen on a global scale—it can and should include the more local ones. This is maybe most conspicuously expressed in the essay “A Trip to Kosovo” where a doctor returns to the war-torn country to navigate its broken bureaucracy in hopes of getting his nephew immediate cancer treatment and ends on the line: If the world can be saved, it will be by small acts of kindness. View flyer for more information.

Welcome to Strangelove Country

“I have always enjoyed dealing with a slightly surrealistic situation and presenting it in a realistic manner. I’ve always liked fairy tales and myths, magical stories, supernatural stories, ghost stories, surrealistic and allegorical stories. I think they are somehow closer to the sense of reality one feels today than the equally stylized ‘realistic’ story in which a great deal of selectivity and omission has to occur in order to preserve its ‘realistic’ style.”—STANLEY KUBRICK, “Kubrick Country”
