Listed and TBA Events, Programs, Retreats

The above events begin before you arrive and continue after you depart with customized editorial, story development, and execution (prose narrative) forums online at Algonkian Author Connect. Additionally, all events include the famous and popular Algonkian Novel Development eBook, originally created solely for the New York Write to Pitch Conference, and our most practical guide to becoming a published author.

ALGONKIAN WRITER EVENTS AND PROGRAMS

They Begin Before You Arrive and Continue Upon Departure - All Genres.

What does the above mean? Prior to the start of any given event, writers receive critical, publisher-reviewed assignments, readings, and must-do checklists, many of which are found in the Algonkian novel writing forums at AA Connect. Additionally, at the conclusion of events, and for manuscript polish purposes, writers are provided with a supplemental novel editorial program that includes additional faculty consultation.

We know that if you are beginning a novel or working on one in-progress, or if you have a completed ms and require a strong reality check, you must receive professional, highly focused reaction not only to your prose and narrative, but to your story premise (most important), plot points, antagonist, secondary characters, conflict lines, theme, and all else. Our ultimate goal, therefore, is to increase your odds of becoming a published author by showing you how to inhabit that upper percentile of writers who will have their work taken seriously by professionals in the business.
