Writing/Publishing Workshop, Attic Owl, Sunday Nov. 26

Moncton author Lee Thompson will be conducting an interactive, for-writers-only workshop on Sunday, 1PM, November 26, at the Attic Owl Bookshop. There will be two parts to the workshop, part one dealing with the ins and outs of publishing, submitting to publishers, how to prepare a manuscript, what publishers are looking for, and part two dealing with the art of writing.

Participants are asked to submit their work (under 3000 words) and each will be provided with a thorough, and helpful, critique of their writing.

Cost of the workshop is $65, $50 for students. Seating is limited so you must register and pay in advance. If you wish to attend the workshop without submitting any work, the cost is $35 ($25 students).

Writers of all of levels are welcome!

Please contact Lee Thompson by email - thomlee@nb.sympatico.ca - or by telephone (506) 382 9044.
