These great sessions:

  • Finding and Telling True Stories -- An overview of brainstorming, researching, and interviewing techniques used to write three books.
  • Plotting Boot Camp -- All good stories have one thing in common: a strong plot. This presentation simplifies the plotting process and helps focus a writer's vision of their current work in progress. Participants will engage in a group writing activity that can then be used as a tool for their own projects.
  • Character Development Workshop -- Does your character's eye color matter? Does he or she resent authority? Why? Character development is imperative for any story. This hands-on workshop will look at how a character's past influences their actions in the present and where inspiration can be found to create a character as unique as you are.
  • Worldbuilding: How to Build the Foundations of Your Fantasy or Sci-fi World -- Learn to create fantasy worlds that will sweep readers off their feet by incorporating small and large details into your work.
  • How to Write a Book Proposal -- To land an agent and an editor for your nonfiction book, first you need to write a proposal.
  • How to Hook an Agent: Everything from Strong Query Letters to First Lines -- Landing an agent starts with getting their attention and not letting it go. Discover how to keep agents reading your work and requesting more!
