Webinar #1

First Page Thick-skinned Critique: Scenes Webinar

Presented by Jerry B. Jenkins

Thursday, August 10, 2010 8 p.m. (Eastern Time)
	The best novels are made up of a series of scenes with very little narrative. Each scene is crucial and must engage the reader’s senses – plus it has to advance the story. Join Jerry B. Jenkins in his next Thick-skinned Critique Webinar as he shares how to craft scenes that will keep your readers hooked. During this Webinar, the bestselling novelist and owner of the Christian Writers Guild will evaluate 6 scenes submitted anonymously by attendees. One could be yours! Jerry will walk you through every detail of an editor’s work in evaluating whether your scene has what it takes. While Jerry is honest and direct, the critiques are never mean. The webinar will conclude with Q&A. To submit your scene sample for this webinar, register by calling (866) 495-5177, and then email your 2-page scene in Times New Roman, 12-point font and double spaced, to Leilani@ChristianWritersGuild.com by August 3. And even if you don’t submit a sample, you’ll learn a lot as you follow along.
