Starting to write a book is great, but finishing it is even better.
And there’s a lot of work between those two milestones. In this
presentation, Melinda Copp, a professional ghostwriter and editor,
will share her strategies for getting your book manuscript done and ready for publication.
She’ll cover:
– Tips for completing a solid first draft
– Detailed and big-picture revision strategies that work
– How to find pre-publication readers and editorial help
– And techniques for overcoming the obstacles that keep manuscripts
languishing in desk drawers.
No matter where you are in the book-writing process, this session will
help you get your manuscript over the finish line and into the hands
of readers.
