Writing Serials for Women’s Magazines
Mickleover Library
Editors love a good serial – one rich with interesting characters, bursting with tensions, rustling with mystery, and written with pace and flair. One, in short, that will keep their readers coming back for more. They are always on the lookout for new writers and, indeed, Women’s Weekly say that their serial slot receives the fewest submissions, so your odds of getting published are higher – if you get it right! Now here is a one-day workshop that can help you do just that. What’s more, all the techniques used for serials can be applied to novel-writing and, indeed, some serials (one of Joanna’s included) are taken up afterwards as full books.
Led by widely published author Joanna Barnden, this course will cover market demands, creating a cast list, plotting, viewpoint, creating cliffhangers and writing an eye-catching editorial submission to boost your creativity and up your commercial success. At only £35 for the day, it’s not something you can afford to miss...
