With each session limited to only 5 fiction and/or nonfiction writers, the workshops offer detailed critiques from Jeff Ourvan, author, editor and literary agent, as well as reviews from fellow participants. Here’s how it works: At the end of each week’s session, writers submit to the group a chapter, or an excerpt of approximately 15 pages long, for review the following week. Each of the fellow writers then shares his or her critique of the submission, and Jeff contributes a thorough written and oral analysis of each work. Some of our writer-students are previously published, and others are tackling their first works. Our current roster includes romance authors, literary novelists, thriller writers, comedic authors, short story writers, YA authors, memoirists, health and science writers, and others. Also offered are online editing services and Skype or phone consultations for writers either not in the New York area or unable to attend the workshops.
As a literary agent at one of New York’s most successful agencies, Jeff understands today’s publishing market and provides not only editing and writing advice but also suggestions toward making writers’ works commercially viable. After all, writers want to be published!
