NOTICE!

For some reason I can add sidebars, but not new posts. Please check back later. I have been working on a variety of things including switching my blog soon from this one, which was set up with my now-defunct West Wisconsin Telcom account. I hope to have my new blog through Gmail up soon. I will provide a link and announcement when I've got everything straight. 7/2/11

Virtual workshops on publishing non-fiction

My collage "I am a work in progress."


I just heard about these workshops, which are a series of 11 classes that will be presented live online and available as recordings. It is sponsored by eWomenPublishing Network and AuthorSmart.com. The course is for writers who want help with developing ideas, writing, marketing, and publishing non-fiction books. Here is the link to the workshops, one set starts in September, and one in the winter: http://vpcfeb08.eventbrite.com/ Here is another link to some free articles to download from authorsmart: http://stores.authorsmart.com/page.bok?template=freestuff#sabotage

I learned about these because I signed up at http://www.authorsmart.com/ I’ve been so focused on fiction the last few years as I worked on my novel that there hasn’t been brain-space for non-fiction lately. Now, as I dutifully send out an agent query, wait for the response, and then send out to another, I’ve been looking at resuscitating my non-fiction writing. I’m not making any decisions or commitments on my time until the last week of August because, as a part-time adjunct instructor, I won’t know if I’m going to be teaching this fall or not; or if I am, how many classes I’ll have. I’ll take a more detailed look at these sites at that time to see if I’ll have time to take the course. Wow, those were some mighty complicated sentences, but I think they are grammatical!
