MWW 2020 Conference: ONE-day Intensives 

“MWW 2020 Conference: ONE-day Intensive” -- July 23, Ball State Alumni Center, 2800 W. Bethel Ave, Muncie, Indiana. MWW20 will allow you to connect with fellow writers and gain insight from award-winning authors who will help you move forward in your writing career, regardless of whether you’re currently a beginner or a veteran of several books.

On Thursday, we have options for everyone! We’re offering genre-specific learning sessions designed for writers serious about pursuing a given genre. You will spend the day with the instructor and other writers who share your interest. These small-group "Intensive" sessions are limited to small class sizes.

**If you are ready for email marketing, you can choose Jane Friedman's intensive session.

**Session to hone your first 10 pages! As many writers know, agents and editors won't give your work more than ten pages or so to make an impact. If you haven't got them hooked by then, it's a safe bet you won't be asked for more material. Make sure you've got the kind of opening they're looking for! In Manuscript Makeover, you'll get input to refine the first ten pages, for fiction or nonfiction.
