 Teresa Funke
It Starts with an Idea . . .
A middle-of-the-night brainstorm or a concept that's been building—and you know you've got a book inside you. But how do you begin? And where do you go from there? In this six-session webinar series, successful author and nationwide writer's coach Teresa R. Funke will teach you: How to Get Started: Is your idea sound? Can it sustain a book? How do you embark on research; choose the right genre; learn the craft of writing . . . How to Write: Where do you start your book or story? Do you need an outline? How do you choose a point of view; develop characters and/or anecdotes; manage your content or structure your plot . . . How to Revise: How do you know when your book is really done. Do you need a collaborator or proofreader? How do you tighten your writing; check pacing; handle rewrites; get feedback . . . How to Prepare Your Work for Submission: What are your publishing options? Is self-publishing or an e-book the route for you? How do you write query and cover letters; track submissions; build a buzz for your book before you submit . . . How to Find an Editor or Agent: Do you need an agent? How do you write a book proposal or a synopsis? Should you present your work at a conference; enter a contest; contact editors directly . . . How to Manage Your Published Book: What happens after you get that publishing contract or produce your own book? How much marketing do you have to do? How do you develop a marketing plan; approach the press; speak on the radio; present at schools, etc. Teresa Funke is the owner of Teresa Funke & Company and Victory House Press and the award-winning author of six novels for adults and children based on true stories from WWII. She is also a nationwide speaker offering keynotes and presentations and a popular writer’s coach and creativity coach.
