Six Month Writing Series, Week 3

• What we'll do
Ready to write your book but no idea where to start? Already written a book, but struggling to get it done? Then this is your writing series!

Dedicate one night a month Feb-Jul and come get your book done. Join Tara Richter, Richter Publishing, and Jamie Klingman and Laurie Stemm, The Kaizen Collaborative, for 6 nights of focusing on getting published. Bring your computer, grab a drink, and settle in for focused writing time.

Each session will have a focus. The first 30 minutes Tara will cover a certain topic to help you with your manuscript. Afterwards we will break into groups where you can write silently or collaborate with other aspiring authors. Tara will also be available for private coaching during the night.
