face=arial size=2>A one-day workshop in which participants have the
opportunity to demystify the publishing world in a frank and detailed
discussion led by publisher and writer, Jeffrey Levine. He will share
methods that will enable participants to design an effective publishing
program that meets the needs of the novice, the moderately successful, and the
veteran writer. As both writer and publisher, the instructor brings a
rich perspective to the workshop from both sides of the envelope.
Specific individualized strategies will be presented for prose and poetry
writers at every stage of their writing careers. Discussion includes
specific routes to success, including the effectiveness of workshops,
mentoring programs, MFA programs, and private tutoring. Participants
will be guided to take a critical look inside the various markets for written
work. Uncovering literary on-line and print journals that are right for
you, and the low-down on self-publishing. Participants prepare their top
three questions in advance for group discussion. Most importantly, since
each person's story is unique, participants will receive a brief one-on-one
consultation with the publisher. Questions to be emailed in advance upon
acceptance to the workshop.<BR><BR>Jeffrey Levine is founded, editor-in-chief
