My next webinar for Author Learning Center's program, Book in A Year--Fiction, is coming up on April 5, 2018, 1:30--3:00 EDT.
In this workshop, we will look at fleshing out your fictional narrative. Some of the topics covered include: the critical first chapter, developing strong scenes and chapters, and getting the reader to turn the page. We will also begin "blueprinting" your novel and explore how you can use a story board to track plot and character development.

Call for Essay Submissions: Longridge Review
March 1 - May 1, 2018
Our mission is to present the finest essays on the mysteries of childhood experience, the wonder of adult reflection, and how the two connect over a lifespan.
We discourage simple excerpts from memoir, as such fragments rarely work well as stand-alone, coherent, effective essays. We do not publish writing that is overtly sentimental.
We are committed to publishing narratives steeped in reverence for childhood perceptions, but we seek essays that stretch beyond the clichés of childhood as simple, angelic, or easy. We feature writing that layers the events of the writer’s early years with learning or wisdom accumulated in adult life.
We welcome diverse creative nonfiction pieces that depict revealing moments about the human condition.
We will consider one creative nonfiction piece (up to 3,500 words) per submission period. Please do not submit more than once during the reading period. Individual authors will not be published more than once per calendar year.
Please visit our website for more detailed guidance.
