A Note about Writing Workshops - Picturebook and Novel
Also: a note about SUBSTACK offering a FREE MONTH of subscription! And how that works -- better than socks for Christmas!
We have two small groups of people interested in a picturebook writing workshop, and a workshop for adult novels. (I also had one person requesting a Young Adult/fantasy workshop… so if that interests you, please let me know!)
The picturebook one will be rolling out this week, and the novel workshop will begin as soon as someone in the group is ready to submit a first chapter!
I’ll share links to posts about workshopping—its nature and what it involves.
But in a nutshell, you send me your manuscript via email (alison@alisonacheson.com) and I post in the order in which I receive, with a week in between. You then use the Unschool “Workshop Space” to share feedback. (Paid subscribers only.)

ALSO: Substack is sending out word to those who actively read with the offer of a free month to fully explore a publication. These months are not on us, the writers, but on Substack; they will be paying us!
Keep an eye out—

First, the post about all basic navigation:
Housekeeping! How Does This Substack Thing WORK?
This is a screen shot of the actual site of The Unschool newsletter as it appears on Substack. Some of you may have never seen this. Some of you may have only ever seen and read the posts as email that falls into your box every five days or so.
Then posts on workshopping:
QUESTIONS??
The workshops sound like an extraordinary opportunity!
Yay. I am interested in the fantasy workshop. I think I have a first chapter. I'll wait until you tell me to roll it out. 🙃
