Algonkian Novel Workshops
The goal of Algonkian is to provide writers of all genres with the craft
skills, connections, and market knowledge they need to effectively compete
in today's fiercely competitive literary market. We provide a series of reality
checks, both in terms of written exercises and interactive sessions with professional
editors and agents. We also require every writer in our shops develop a realistic
plan to get their novel or fiction manuscript published. For more information, see
our FAQ at http://www.algonkianconferences.com/faq.htm
Backspace: The Writer's Place
Backspace is an online writers organization with over 1,300 members in a
dozen countries. A third of their members are agented and published, and
include nearly a dozen New York Times best-selling authors.
Their annual Backspace Writers Conference (May 26-28, 2011) brings together
literary agents, acquisitions editors, best-selling authors, and
publishing professionals for a three-day program of workshops, panels, and
networking in the heart of the publishing world. The event kicks-off with
their always-sold-out Agent-Author Day (May 26th) with over 30 top
literary agents participating. The Backspace Agent-Author Day
(November 3-4, 2011 in NYC) brings together over 25 top literary agents for panels
and workshops providing authors an opportunity to have their query letters
and opening pages critiqued by literary agents in a small-group,
genre-specific format (attendance is limited).
The Editorial Department:
Now celebrating 26 years in the service of writers worldwide.
Founded by former William Morrow senior editor Renni Browne, our firm is
dedicated to helping writers of full-length fiction and nonfiction turn
promising manuscripts into salable properties. What sets us apart from others
is our high rate of success with first fiction, our policy against taking on work
that we feel shows little promise, and the assistance we offer our un-agented authors
in finding literary representation. We cannot guarantee writers publication as a result
of working with us, but we can dramatically improve their odds. Authors’ Services include:
manuscript evaluation & consultation, proofreading, copyediting, line editing, ghost writing
& collaboration, synopsis & book proposal preparation, writers’ workshops & seminars, a free
writers’ e-zine, and a fiction-writing e-course. Contact info:
