About the Session
Suzanne Kingsbury, bestselling author and founder of Gateless Writing, Inc. and Senior Editor and Gateless Trained Teacher Kate Baldwin, will talk about the power of sharing the pieces of your book and how to find the innate craft, genius, and talent that you already contain so that you can grow from there. A not to be missed look at what it really means to “edit” and “critique” in a way that flies you into the final draft and the sale.

Meeting the Raw Draft as a Treasure Chest and a Goldmine with Kelly Anderson

Tuesday 9 December ⋅ 21:00 – 22:00 (UTC)

Here is your Zoom link to join the call: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89491973667

About the Session
Kelly Anderson, a Gateless Academy alum, came into the Academy with the raw draft of a novel that she said felt skeletal to her. In the Academy she unburied the full bodied prose, plot, and character that was waiting for her all along. She had an overwhelming amount of agents offer to represent her and wound up going with the agent of her dreams, who sold her book to Harpers for one of the best deals of the year. In this session she will talk about what love has to do with the writing process, how writing serves as medicine, and what you need to know about creating a draft that sells.

About the Session
Lone wolves, sharks, and creative geniuses of old often hit the bottle. Women walked into water with stones in their pockets. The great late Hemingway shot himself in his house alongside the Big Wood River. Writing has long been a path that others are doubtful of, recommending a day job, telling you the tale of the starving artist and niggling at our deepest insecurities. Gateless Academy craft calls bely this underbelly and allow you to transcend the demons and draw on what’s driving you. We use the question and answer format to harness your creative energy and ride it into the future. What’s miraculous is that the questions that writers have will mirror your own and you will walk away richer and more powerful for the chance to have sat in on the session.
