The oh-so-important (and often botched) query letter was a discussion topic in last night’s Advanced Writing Workshop at Chapman.

About Archetype and its creator…
While conceived originally in 2009 to chronicle my journey through Chapman University’s dual MA/MFA program in English and Creative Writing, Archetype has evolved to reflect my deepening involvement in and commitment to literary pursuits. If you’re interested in literature, poetry, the process and angst of creative and nonfiction writing, literary figures and events, submission opportunities, books I’m reading, other literary blogs I’m following, conferences I’m attending, and demons I’m wrestling, I invite you to visit often.Archives

A curious thing seems to be happening in writing workshops. Criticism regarding spelling, grammar, and punctuation is considered hypercritical and offered only with considerable apologies for nitpicking. “Your editor will catch and correct those problems” seems to be the widespread assumption, which disregards completely the fact that, as unpublished, amateur writers, we don’t yet have editors.
