Middle Grade PRO Workshop with Author Jen Malone

June 1st, 2020 - August 31st, 2020

with Kim Holster

Group started
Workshop your middle grade novel in an intimate setting with guided facilitation from author Jen Malone. Each month you’ll share a submission of up to 5,000 words for critique (line item, overall craft, and plotting/story elements) from Jen and your peers, and you will provide similar feedback to your fellow participants. As you work through your manuscript drafting and/or revisions you'll receive support and guidance via our private group discussion board and via two conference calls (following critiques in months one and four) to expand on questions and suggestions in real time.

This is a continuation workshop - we will not be adding new writers to the summer group. Please email brooke@inkedvoices.com to be notified about fall spots should they become available.
