The New Hampshire Writers’ Project is offering fall workshops for writers of all levels, with several focused on the challenge of completing and publishing a manuscript.

Starting Sept. 15, NHWP president Linda Chestney, an acquisitions editor with University Press of New England, will offer a six-week course titled “How to Write, Publish, and Promote Your ‘How-To’ or Business Book.” The class covers how to edit a nonfiction manuscript, how to write an overview and proposal, how to find the hook to attract publishers, and what to look for in a contract.

For writers seeking feedback, starting on Sept. 11, former NHWP executive director Kathy Boss will teach her six-week “Straight Up” workshop, focusing on constructive criticism and rewriting. Also on Sept. 11, award-winning poet April Ossmann will teach a non-traditional workshop that shows poets how to revise work more objectively, as an editor would.

On Sept. 25, NHWP’s program director Carla Gericke will teach a flash fiction workshop, offering a way to hone editing skills. On Oct. 2, Rick Agran offers “Sharing Our Toys: An Interactive Generative Workshop,” exploring childhoods.

On Nov. 6 and 7, Mary Carroll Moore, award-winning author of 13 published books and a PEN/Faulkner nominee, returns to teach her previously sold-out workshop: “How to Plan, Write, and Develop a Book and Get It Published.” Moore guides attendees through book-writing and editing processes that can take a book from idea to publication with a step-by-step, six-month plan to make manuscripts manageable.

On Nov. 6 and 13, respectively, NHWP board members John Herman and James Patrick Kelly will teach “Social Media for Authors” and “Robots and Dragons and Zombies, Oh My!”

All the workshops take place at Southern New Hampshire University in Manchester. One-day workshops cost $101 for members or $135 for non-members. All two-day or six-week classes are $201 for members or $268 for non-members. For more information or to register, visit www.nhwritersproject.org or call 603-314-7980.
