I teach one semester a year and this year I'm just teaching one course during that semester a writing workshop for older students in their late 20s and early 30s people in our graduate program who are already working on a manuscript and trying to bring it to completion.

Your manuscript is both good and original but the part that is good is not original and the part that is original is not good.

I never saw any of my dad's stories. My mother said he had piles and piles of manuscripts.

Great nations write their autobiographies in three manuscripts - the book of their deeds the book of their words and the book of their art.

I thought it was amazing to work with authors to get a manuscript and try to make up a cover for it.

As an editor I read Charlotte Rogan's amazing debut novel 'The Lifeboat ' when it was still in manuscript. I read it in one night and I really wanted my company to publish it but we lost it to another house. It's such a wonderful combination of beautiful writing and suspenseful storytelling.
