New Year Workshops

Two workshops by member Candace Havens:

There will be two different classes for January. The free class is FAST DRAFT, which is back by popular demand. If you belong to this group, you are already signed up. For those of you who don't know, that's when we write a first draft in two weeks. More than 100 of requested we do this in Jan., so here you go. :-) Remember, it's free and to tell your friends. I'll let you know when the class begins.

Also, I'm teaching a class online for the Celtic Hearts group. I highly suggest this class for anyone who is serious about getting on the road to publishing this year. The class costs $15, and will talk about everything from getting motivated to write, writing, revising, getting an agent and marketing yourself. You need to sign up fast as the deadline is tomorrow, though I'm sure they'll take a few latecomers if necessary. http://www.celtichearts.org
