Everyone has them…or will have them. Story ideas that were started, made it through a few chapters before being abandoned, or completed manuscripts that were turned down so often all hope was lost.
All this happened before your prose improved to its present level, right? These were written before you knew what you know now about the publishing world.
There is no such thing as a bad story idea. There are simply poor presentations, manuscripts that don’t match current market interests, and giant writers’ block walls that appeared insurmountable. All of these can be overcome with some serious rethinking.
FLIP REJECTED AND ABANDONED MANUSCRIPTS INTO SALE WORTH STORIES is about finding the redeeming elements and jettisoning those that bog things down. It’s about rethinking, rewriting, reconstructing, reworking, and flipping those once discarded ideas into publishable manuscripts.
“Flipping” works for do-it-yourselfers when it comes to taking a house in need of tender care and turning it into a desirable property once more through simple remodeling tasks. When it has achieved all of this attention it turns into a home for someone else, and a profit for the “flipper.” So why can’t the concept work on any and all manuscripts gathering dust in closets, file boxes in attics or garages, or communing with the dust bunnies under the bed?
It can. And this Workshop in Book Form is the aid to help writers to begin reevaluating, tearing apart, and rebuilding a more desirable manuscript from the shell of that uncompleted or no longer competitive manuscript.
Things covered are the reasons a project was shelved, revamping characters, blending redeemable elements from projects together, scoping out the current marketplace, and a format to consider when building suspense and hitting high points at specific points.
FLIP REJECTED AND ABANDONED MANUSCRIPTS INTO SALE WORTH STORIES is the first volume in a series of Writing Workshops in Book Form. Based on workshops presented online by Beth Daniels for various writers groups, they cover elements of benefit to both new novelists and those with a few published titles on the shelves, be those shelves physical or virtual.
