Q. How does it work?
A. Unlike the traditional classroom, we do not meet face to face for an online workshop. We will not even be talking at the same time. There are no "hours."
Q. Where do we meet?
A. Each workshop is a private email circle in Yahoo Groups. I send you emails and you send me emails. By simply clicking "reply" we can share our knowledge and grow in our understanding of how a book "works."
Q. When will you send me the lessons?
A. On the first Wednesday of each month a new workshop begins. For 6 Wednesdays in a row I will send you a workshop lesson via email. You have 2 weeks to complete each lesson.
Q. What do the numbers mean?
A. Due to the economy I have split my 12 week workshops into two 6 week workshops. In Lessons #1-6 you will study published books to see how they are put together. In Lessons #7-12 you will use what you learned to write your own book.
Q. How do I send you my homework?
A. Just click reply to email me your homework. I will reply to your email that afternoon or the next day. (I write in the morning and read the workshops in the afternoon Monday through Friday.)
Q. When will you critique my manuscript?
A. Critique begins in Lessons #7-12 of the Intensive Picture Book Workshop, Easy Reader Workshop, Children's Chapter Books Workshop and the Children's Novels Workshop. For lessons #7-11, you'll send me writing for the big picture traits. For lesson #12, you'll send in a completed picture book manuscript or a first chapter.
Q. How long do I have to complete the workshop?
A. You have 8 weeks to complete the 6 lessons in the workshop.
