Veteran author Bob Hostetler showed no surprise during the writers conference when I attended his class on nonfiction one-sheets.
Nor did Jerry Jenkins raise an eyebrow when several faculty members — themselves professional editors — attended our Thick-Skinned Manuscript Clinics.

“If you want to grow in your craft,” Jerry Jenkins told the conferees, “never stop learning.” He’s planning to listen to the recording of a session he missed on using Scrivener software.
In Bob Hostetler’s class, I picked up some tips on writing one-sheets. What have you learned lately?
