SUMMARY:November Manuscript Intensive Program
DESCRIPTION:Send your book out without the self-doubt. Instead work with one of our editors to get your manuscript in shape.   In this month-long one-on-one intensive\, an experienced published author will closely read your entire book and mentor you\, giving focused editorial feedback on the first 25 pages and an editorial letter to guide revision of the rest. \nThere will be significant opportunity for extended correspondence with your mentor\, who will provide specific suggestions for revision and offer general advice on the current state of publishing\, and next steps for you to take in your publishing journey. Work with us before sending out your manuscript to help your book really shine! \n\nHow it works:\n\nThe San Francisco Creative Writing Institute Manuscript Intensive is a four-week\, one-on-one mentorship with a published writer to get help with your completed prose manuscript (novel\, memoir or other non-fiction\, essay or story collection) and receive valuable feedback for revision or submission to agents or publishers.\n\nIf you have a completed manuscript and want to know what the next steps to take are\, this is the course for you.\n\n\n\n\n\nNext Steps:\nAfter you register\, you’ll email the manuscript to us at mentor@sfwriting.institute along with tendering a retainer fee. \n\nWe will look at your manuscript and assign you one of our mentors based on your work and their specialties. Read up on our list of mentors here.\n\n\n\n\nWeekly Schedule: November 09\, 2020 – December 04\, 2020\, All Day\nWeek 1 – Your mentor will spend the first week of the month reading your entire book. \n\nWeek 2 – In the second week you will receive an editorial mark-up of the first chapter or first 25 pages (whichever is most appropriate) and an editorial letter oriented toward revision.\n\nWeek 3 – In the third week\, you can initiate an email conversation about the edits and feedback\, and even offer a revision of the first pages for a “second look.”\n\nWeek 4 – In the final week\, your mentor will respond to your commentary and any possible revisions to the opening pages and offer final guidance for revision or submission.

SUMMARY:Online Evening Literary Seminar: Let's Pretend This Never Happened\, Jenny Lawson
DESCRIPTION:Jenny Lawson’s ridiculously eccentric childhood in Texas—combined with a hefty dose of anxiety\, depression and serious intelligence—makes for a hilariously dark memoir that will bring the comic relief we might all need in November. Let’s Pretend This Never Happened feels like a Mary Karr-David Sedaris-Amy Poehler mash-up\, a look at how to cope when things are just plain absurd. It would be a crime during this Covid fall NOT to turn to Lawson for commiseration\, solace and some much-needed laughs. \nJoin Kimberly to delve deeper into a novel that has been described as “transformed by intragenerational retelling rather than passed down\,” one made up of “quick and dirty mythmaking\,” a book we should all be reading now.
