February Bootcamp for Novelists On-line Classes

WHAT'S UP AT BOOTCAMP FOR NOVELISTS IN 2010?

February Courses -- February 14 thru March 13

QUERY, SYNOPSIS, and MARKETING
with Linda Style

Nothing is more important than that first impression with an editor. That first query letter you send, the synopsis you write to represent your story... each is a first impression the editor gets before reading your story. Your query and synopsis represents you and your work, so you want them to be the best they can be. This is a "How To, Hands On" class in which you'll learn not only how to write the perfect query letter and synopsis, but also how to make itglitter and shine.
Then you'll learn how to sell yourself. Query, Synopsis and Marketing is the completion course of the 10-month Polish Track. Because it is so hands-on, it is the only course Linda will teach in February.

Beginning with March, she'll return to teaching two courses per month.

FEE: $25

SATISFYING ENDINGS
with Connie Flynn

A classic truism is that readers decide to buy your book after reading the first page andthen decide whether to buy your next book after reading the last page. This course shows how the story's ending finds its foundation in the beginning and why no book can end with a bang that doesn't start off with a some fireworks. We'll explore what readers look for in endings and why different genres must satisfy different expectations, and what elements must be present at every ending, whether it's happy, tragic or bittersweet. Satisfying Endings is the completion course of the 10-month Basic Track, and takes students through the last chapter of their book.

MOOD and SETTING
with Connie Flynn

The balance of attention paid to mood and setting vs. action varies between and even within genres, but the techniques for developing atmosphere and setting remain the same. This courses will teach you how to build world rules and world views into your story without slowing the pace. You'll create plot devices and touchstones to keep readers oriented and learn how to keep track of details.
