COURSE DESCRIPTION: Want to save time in your book-writing process? Tired of trying to remember the breed of your protagonist’s neighbor’s dog? Frustrated by the editing process because you (and your editor!) find inconsistencies everywhere?

Whether you are writing fiction or nonfiction, a Book Style Guide will save you time and frustration in your process. In the early stages of writing your book? That’s a perfect time to put together your Guide!

Participants will receive templates to fill out each week, which will result in a complete Book Style Guide by the end of the workshop. Participants will receive answers to questions about the materials and one-on-one feedback from the instructor.

I just wanted to let you know that your [Book Style Guide] class was terrific. It reminded me of things I’d forgotten and taught me things I wasn’t aware of. ~ Marilyn Bostick I’ve taken Bernadette’s workshop twice and I’m waiting in the wings for the next one. There is no pressure, just information and inspiration. ~ Catherine H. Bernadette was a wonderful and inspiring teacher; even on the internet she really connected with and brought together a vibrant writing community—not the case with all online writing workshops... ~ Laurie S. This workshop (Writing About Place) helped me revise a novel. Bernadette provides strong, clear, timely feedback. I would love to take another four weeks with this same group! ~ Eileen G. The Art of Revision was the perfect jump start to re-vision past poems. Bernadette fostered such a positive learning community that I continue to meet regularly with my classmates in a writer’s group. ~ Katherine R.
