Writer’s Corner

Where I am as a Writer

v A Freshman advances by writing and getting critiqued and by studying the craft of fiction and by writing some more.
Sophomore: Tackling the Proposal
v A Sophomore advances by writing, by studying how to write a proposal, by writing that first practice proposal and then by testing the proposal at writing conferences.
Juniors: Perfecting their Pitches
v A Junior advances by striving for perfection in craft by polishing proposals, and by pitching projects to live agents or editors.
Seniors: Preparing to become authors
v A Senior advances by ignoring rejections and continuing to submit a polished project until a publisher buys it.
