Wow them with a professional looking submission they can’t say no to! Planning on entering the Golden Heart this year? (Yes, it’s just around the corner again!) This is the perfect way to get your entry in tip-top shape. I’ll be focusing on practical ways to amp up an already finished manuscript, and what not to do as you’re starting a new one as well. We’ll be going over:
– Quick Fix Common Mistakes
