In 500 words or less, tell Lee Mathews why you should be chosen to attend this once in a lifetime workshop:
I deserve this workshop because when I write, I get it done. Most of my works have gone best seller and delve into the darker side of politics that don’t involve the American people much. I want to make an income that accurately reflects my talents. I want to show my kids the world outside of their immediate zip code, but I also want to have the ability to explore on my own. I inspire people wherever I go, and I’m never at a loss for company or companionship. People get me. I want to be appreciated for my gifts instead of always having to wonder how to push the next book. Marketing is a drag on my valuable time when I could be writing the next masterpiece. I want to get to where I can pay a staff to do that for me. I know you understand where I’m coming from. You’ve risen above and beyond, and I feel that pooling our talents would give us both what we want – your legacy will live on, and my legacy will shine. I’m exactly who you’re looking for.
One item you will bring to the workshop and why it is your chosen item (chosen authors will be stripped of all personal possessions, other than prescribed medications, at the door):
My leather cased Ranger multi-tool. I never leave home without it. Has everything from plyers to knife to a secret compartment special built to hold condoms, this puppy never leaves my side.
