Send to: mysteryinamonth at gmail dot com (replacing at with @ and dot with . )
(This is equivalent to one page, double-spaced.)
This one page, double-spaced writing sample will be required. This could be a synopsis of the story you are planning to write (or have written, say, as a rough draft), the opening page of your mystery, or a rough outline of your story structure, told in a compelling way, of course!
The purpose: So that your editor can assess your level of craft, and review your story structure for its strengths and weaknesses.
This is a working workshop. At least two hours of each 3 hour session will be spent in group work with your editor, with inputs from the featured author available as needed.
To save on the workshop, you can join FWA online here.
