Don't miss our W.A.R. Spring Write In,
Sat. and Sun., March 28th-29th over Zoom!
This will be a weekend writing intensive over Zoom where you will perfect your first 10 pages, your verbal pitch and query letter, have a private consult with Lee Ann Ward about your manuscript, and create your perfect tagline/logline for your project. We will also conclude the weekend with a Pitch War, and the winner gets a FREE Writing Away Refuge course/class of their choosing (up to a $300 value)!
(This weekend Write In is limited to 25 writers so Lee Ann has dedicated time to spend with each attendee! Early registration is encouraged to secure your spot.)

Just how important is the right POV for your book?
Point of View is a powerful narrative tool that shapes the audience experience. Whether it's first, closed third, or an omniscient world view, your POV can make or break your story.
Join Lee Ann over Zoom, Sat., May 2nd, for this new masterclass!
(Space is limited to 25 writers because of in class "prompt" writing.
Early registration is encouraged.)
