Prizes! Tips from my hot writing group!

Okay kids. Thursday I'm launching my inaugural Dialogue Boot Camp via LitReactor, one of the most awesome writing communities ever!

So, I'm bringing the big guns to this class. You will not be disappointed. Not only am I gonna pack it with lectures that will give you insight into what makes dialogue sing, but there will be deconstruction. Evisceration. Good times aplenty!

In five days, you'll have some mad skills. Some understanding of authority, voice, and the intersection of the two.

And not only that.

The starters in my workshop, those folks you always see in the New York Times? Yeah, them. They've ponied up some tips that will be unveiled in day five. Worth it just for those, eh?

But, that is not all.

The Den Mom, aka, me, will critique three prompt-driven assignments (decided in a lottery). And as an added bonus: Three more students will be selected at random at the end of class to have their work critiqued by me—anything they want, up to 10 pages. We're talking detailed, line-by-line critique.

And one additional crazy bonus (get your credit card ready), three lucky random winners will be the first kids on their block to receive a personalized and signed copy of Monica Drake's forthcoming, buzzfest-guaranteed novel, The Stud Book in spring of 2013.

Sign up now! Don't delay, class starts bright and early this Thursday!
