**Register online at http://espan-rwa.com/workshops/*
**

The course will be $5 for ESPAN RWA members, $10 for non-ESPAN RWA
Members and $15 for non-RWA

Join Angela James as she shares some of the common pitfalls she's seen
in submissions and contest entries. She'll give you ideas, tips and
tricks for polishing and self-editing your manuscript. Discuss things
such as dialogue tags, whether all forms of "to be" really are evil and
just what you're doing to your life expectancy with your use of that
exclamation point. Through it all, she'll be available for clarification
and questions in order to help you on your way to a cleaned-up manuscript.

This course will run over several days on the forum, so you can pop in
and out as needed to ask Angela questions or see the new information
she's posted. You don't need to be available at any certain time of day,
but you do need to sign up for the course to attend.
