You may be vaguely aware I’m getting a video class together on How To Get Your Book Written With Vision and Spirit. It’s a longer process than I expected, but with some help I’m now making good progress.
Below is the tentative list of classes. I need your help. What’s missing? What else would you like to see in a book writing class?

- Vision Your Book – a nifty process
- Defining Your Book’s Purpose
- Finding Your Ideal Reader
- Your Working Table of Contents
- Getting The Writing Done – 1
- Making Long Manuscripts Work For You
- Getting The Writing Done – 2
- Rewriting and Editing
- How to Find the Right Copy Editor
- Final Manuscript Prep – hard copy, pdf, email, ebook
- From Idea To Book – The Steps in Publishing
- Book Proposal Or Completed Book?
- What About Agents?

- Know Your Rights – US include gnu – it’s all negotiable

Will any of it branch off into the differences between getting fiction and non-fiction published? And will “steps in publishing” go over how to write a good query letter? Thanks!
yes, yes, although query letters may come in a different spot.
Are you going to address critique partners?
I don’t know about critique partners – are you a good resource for that?
Excellent list so far Anne.
