[NEohioPAL] Local Writers, Go From Idea To Book Deal!

[Kishia Williamson]

~Unless you're lucky enough to have a captive professional writer in your
bedroom, the best way to acquire such a guide is to take a creative writing
course from someone who knows whereof she speaks. And if you find it
helpful, or I suppose just fun, go on to take a few more. At some point
along the line you'll start submitting stories to magazines, or books to
publishers, or screenplays to Hollywood agents, and collecting rejection
slips. And then you'll get the first note from an editor saying she might be
interest in buying your masterwork if you'll only make the following small
revisions. And, after gritting your teeth and ripping the heart and lungs
out of your piece and sticking new ones in, you'll have sold your first
story. 

 

How to begin? Easy: pick a writing course and prepare yourself to get the
most from the teacher, the material, and the welcome but painful critiques
of your own work.  Creative writing can't be taught, as I said back in the
[above] paragraph; it must be learned.
