Thank You to the Participants and Mentors of the 1st 5 Pages Workshop!
Congratulations to all of the participants who worked so hard during our October 1st 5 Pages Writing Workshop! And a big thanks to our wonderful guest mentors, Amy Dominy as our author mentor and Kaitlyn Johnson of Corvisiero Literary Agency as our agent mentor! And as always, thank you to our talented and fabulous permanent mentors, who read, comment, and cheer on our participants every month!Our November workshop will open for entries on Saturday, November 4th at noon, EST. The workshop is designed to help writers struggling to find the right opening for their novel or for those looking to perfect the all important first five pages before submitting for publication. Why the first five pages? Because if these aren't perfect, no agent, editor, or reader will continue reading to find out how great the rest of your story really is!
How It Works
Please see the complete rules before entering the workshop, but in a nutshell, we'll take the first five Middle Grade or Young Adult entries that meet all guidelines and formatting requirements. (Double check the formatting - each month we have to disqualify entries because of formatting.) Click here to get the rules. We will post when the workshop opens and closes on Adventures in YA Publishing and on twitter with the hashtag #1st5pages. In addition to the rotating team of our wonderful permanent author mentors and a guest author mentor, the final entry for each workshop participant will be critiqued by our agent mentor.
Remember, we take December off, and will re-open in January. So get those pages ready - we usually fill up in under a minute!
Happy Writing (and revising!)
