March 1st 5 Pages Workshop

The March 1st 5 Pages workshop will open for submissions on Saturday, March 7 at noon, ET. It's a great opportunity for selected participants to be mentored by three published authors through three rounds of revisions and to receive additional feedback from our literary agent mentor on their first five pages and their pitch. The agent mentor will select the best of the five manuscripts in the workshop and offer additional feedback to the author, and perhaps to additional participants.

See the full rules here before submitting!
