I will generate new work and revise the manuscript as a whole to create a final version that I can submit to contests and publishers. With the help of my writing coach, I will create new work to fill in the gaps in my memoir. We will meet eight times. I will submit my final draft for written feedback and submit the final manuscript to various publishers and first book contests. 2: I will teach a writing workshop and host a group reading at El Colegio in Minneapolis as well as curate a panel discussion on Latinos in the Arts at The Loft Literary Center. I will survey workshop participants and track attendance for the reading and panel discussion.
I have a new focus and structure for my memoir in addition to approximately 60 pages of new work and the support of a writing coach. Through talking with attendees, reading the guest book, and speaking with the gallery curator, I am confident that more Minnesotans were able to engage with the work of Ed Bock and I. We also attracted new audiences to our future work. My goal was to generate new work, and I did. As a result, I am closer to a final version of my memoir although it stills needs polishing. Because my coach was contracted for the hours specified in my proposal, I am able to meet my proposed project outcomes. I am in a better position to submit the manuscript to publishers and first book contests because of the new work I generated, which gets me to the 150 page minimum typically required for a memoir. 2: I hosted two events and created and submitted workshop materials. I tracked attendance at the readings and events.
