Write THAT book THIS summer with Anita Diggs’ Online Authors Bootcamp
© Julia Freeman-Woolpert
If you would like to take a writing course this summer, but can’t fit your life into a rigid timetable, an intensive online course like Online Authors Bootcamp could be the answer.
The course tutor Anita Diggs has worked as a book editor for Random House, Time Warner Trade Publishing and Thunder’s Mouth Press. She has lectured across the country on the topics of novel writing, book proposal development and how to get a literary agent.
Anita’s writers have published novels of virtually every type - romance, mystery, historical, literary and chick lit, so whatever your writing aspirations, she could hold the answers.
To sign up send an email to Anita at Anitadiggs@aol.com, specifying in whether you’re interested in learning about fiction writing or non-fiction writing.
Anita says: “Non-fiction writers sell their book ideas based upon a book proposal and at least two sample chapters. The purpose of this bootcamp is to produce a completed proposal in just ten weeks.”
Anita provides an expert’s guide through the elements of a non-fiction book proposal, including the outline, chapter summaries, marketing/publicity, book and chapter titles, and more. This book proposal writing bootcamp will help you craft a proposal that will help capture the interest of an agent.
If it’s fiction writing you’re interested in, Anita will guide you in writing the first 150 pages of your novel during the 10-week bootcamp, while learning the basics of theme, plot, characterisation, pacing, point-of-view, setting and tone.
In addition, you’ll find out how scene development can keep your story on track, learn what makes your main characters tick and how they move your story forward, ensure each supporting player has a real part to play, maintain continuity from scene to scene and chapter to chapter and make plans for revision.
Each of the courses costs $500 payable by cheque, credit card or money order.
Anita will send the lessons to you in the body of the email, and you will complete the assignments, returning them to Anita as email attachments.
Anita says: “The courses are aimed at folks who want to stop procrastinating and get that book done. NOW!”
