You have finished your novel or memoir, or the first draft at least. What’s next?

Do you need an editor or a beta reader or an agent? If so, how do you find one that works for you? Is it time for an agent pitch or a book proposal? And what are those, anyway?

And before all that, is your story spot on, or does it still have a few flaws that need fixing?

Professional editor and instructor extraordinaire Kimberly Caldwell will help you figure out all these things. Together with other writers around the table you will be able to sniff out flaws and to fix them, strengthen and polish your plot and subplot arcs, spot narrative summary that should be action instead and fix those grammatical bloopers. Polish the dialogue, structure the scenes and shine the setting.

And then, with help, find the right connections to pitch to bring your book to market.

Kimberly has edited more than 200 novels and memoirs for authors, a behemoth publishing platform that shall not be named due to fine print in the contract, traditional publishing houses and more.
