Announcements! Last Call for Submissions + What The Hook Class + Kat Vellos on Building Community

Hey friends, we have a really exciting week, it’s September, and school is in session—so we thought we’d give you announcements just like when your vice principal would get on the PA each morning and say goooooo sports! So here’s what’s happening this week: Tonight, September 21, 2020, at 8 pm Eastern is the official deadline for our 100th podcast episode. As many of you know, on Thursday, September 24, at 8 pm Eastern, we’re all getting together in one giant Zoom for a panel of expert help and Q&A. Tickets are free, but you need to nominate a friend (or receive a nomination) to get on the list. The panelists will choose nominator/nominee pairs, and bring them onto the Zoom stage for support and feedback for not just their queries, but their whole writing journeys. You can learn more, and submit your work at manuscriptacademy.com/podcast-100. And yes, if you submit your work after tonight at 8 pm, you can still be chosen—but your chances decrease because our panel will be locking in their choices Wednesday at 8 pm. You can hope for procrastination on their part, or give yourself the best odds and submit now. Tomorrow, Tuesday, September 22, 2020 at 8:30 pm Eastern, is a live class with agent Jessica Watterson called What The Hook. You’ll learn not only what a hook is and how it helps you sell your book, but we’ll have a small hook feedback session at the end, and get through as many of these as possible. You can get your ticket at ManuscriptAcademy.com/what-the-hook. And the last thing is that our live-recorded event with Kat Vellos is now live! You can view the video at ManuscriptAcademy.com/Kat. Have a great week, everyone!
