Send your book out without 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.
There 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!
The 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.
If you have a completed manuscript and want to know what the next steps to take are, this is the course for you.
After you register, you’ll email the manuscript to us at [email protected] along with tendering a retainer fee.
We will look at your manuscript and assign you one of our mentors based on your work and their specialties.
Week 1 – Your mentor will spend the first week of the month reading your entire book.
Week 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.
Week 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.”
Week 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.
This course is available for "remote" learning and will be available to anyone with access to an internet device with a microphone (this includes most models of computers, tablets). Classes will take place with a "Live" instructor at the date/times listed below.
Upon registration, the instructor will send along additional information about how to log-on and participate in the class.
All spaces are held in the class with a $100 deposit that goes toward tuition.
In the event that an instructor or the school needs to cancel at the last minute, students will receive a refund less a 5% non-refundable registration fee.
In any event where a customer wants to cancel their enrollment and is eligible for a full refund, a 5% processing fee will be deducted from the refund amount.
