Getting Ready for Submission
At this year's March Ahead, we're doing something brand new. There's more than eight hours each day of learning how to get your novel ready for submission! Choose to attend either Friday, March 21 (online) or Saturday, March 22 (in person). We'll be in Orem, Utah. Classes are the same for both days.
Learn how to pitch your book, take classes from editors, and enjoy presentations from award-winning authors. Agents Marie Lamba, Stephen Fraser, and Joy Peskin are some of our special guests.
Talks will include "Marketing Yourself" and "That Great Opening Page."
Our newest teacher at WIFYR this year, Brodi Ashton, will present "The Last Things I Do Before Sending My Manuscript Off." Brodi is a New York Times Best Seller. Her novel, My Lady Jane, which she co-authored, is now an Amazon Prime series.
