Mar 18, 2025

Online event

Time: Tuesday, March 18th, 2025 | 7:00PM - 8:00PM EST | Writing is rewriting––even after you’ve signed with an agent. Tackling a revision can be daunting and looks like an entirely different form of writer’s block. From revising on your own to revising with an agent for submission, agent Monica Rodriguez will help us dive into some tools that can help conquer your next revision. This webinar will also discuss strategies on how to process feedback so that revising feels less intimidating. Whatever is blocking your next revision, let’s unravel it together. Please note: this webinar is VIRTUAL ONLY.
