Class Description
Literary agent (and veteran of 12+ years of Manuscript Mart) Sorche Elizabeth Fairbank is offering a free pre-Muse session for up to 75 people registered for Manuscript Mart. In the three hour session, Sorche will walk attendees through last minute guidance on the twenty- page submissions, what to expect at Manuscript Mart and the greater Muse conference, how to get the most of your 20 minutes with an agent or editor at the Mart, and how to follow-up and make the most of your critique and agent/editor connections after the conference. Sorche will answer questions, and as time allows, help attendees rehearse and improve short pitches to use throughout Muse ’18 weekend and beyond.
Three times are offered, maximum 25 attendees each. Sign-up for the sessions are first come, first serve. If a particular time is sold out, you will be added to a waiting list.

Zoom Participation:
In our experience, the intimate nature of a writing workshop benefits from on-camera participation. Students are of course welcome to turn their camera off whenever they need to, but it is a community norm for cameras to be on most of the time. You can learn more about using Zoom here.
Zoom Accessibility:
You can enable closed captioning at any time during the meeting by clicking the CC button at the bottom of the screen. If you'd like to access the transcript after class, please make sure to let your instructor ahead of time that you'd like a copy.
