WRITING TUTORIAL DEADLINE APPROACHES
July 29th, 2014
Dear Friends,
Beginning August 12th, I will work with select participants on an individual, private basis for 10 weeks.
There are 8 slots available!
We’ll begin your tutorial with a phone or Skype interview, after which I’ll create a course-long agenda just for you.
This will include weekly email check-ins consisting of an email of 500 words or less from you, and a response of corresponding length from me. You’ll also share your ongoing work with me, and I will discuss, critique and edit it.
You will have the additional option of checking in with me by phone or Skype during the 10-week intensive.
This is a perfect opportunity to advance your writing projects and spark your creativity by working one-on-one with an empathic writer, mentor, editor, publisher and speaker.
Enrollment is limited to 8 participants. If you wish to sign up, email me a description of your current project(s) and your short-term and long-term goals. Let’s work together to tell the stories only you can tell!
Please email me at rmcdowell@mind.net with any questions. The cost of this 10-week private workshop is $949.00, payable with check or via PayPal.
If you know of anyone you think would benefit from this workshop, please share this information.
