I figured that some of these looked useful, and no one said they never wanted to see class links again after my first post, so I went ahead and compiled some more. The first one is free to both members and nonmembers of the host chapter (and yes, like all the courses, you can take it even if you're not a member of the RWA!)
FREE: Why did that editor reject me?
"Publisher and Editor Liz Pelletier of Entangled Publishing will teach you how to evaluate your submission package from an acquisition perspective, so you'll be able to eliminate any deal-breakers from your own manuscript. This workshop will include dissection of sample submissions so you can see an editor's thought processes as she reviews a submission package and decides its fate."
*I've taken a class with this instructor before; check out the review of my last class with her
Runs July 18-July 24
The X-Tremely Productive Writer
