Free Writing Class!

Librarian, Writer, Beatlemaniac

Do you live in the Dallas-Forth Worth Area?

If so, I’m teaching a FREE, two-part writing class for the Allen Public Library.

At 2:00 p.m., on Saturday, February 9th, I’ll be teaching about writing craft. In this session, we’ll discuss:

• What makes a novel great?
• How do I develop my own strong, unique writing voice?
• What are some tricks and tips to improve my writing?
• How can I troubleshoot problems in my novel?
• How can revise and polish up my novel?
• How can I give my novel the strongest chance at getting requests?

At 2:00 p.m., on Saturday, February 23rd, I’ll be teaching about the business side of submitting your work for publication. In this session, we’ll discuss:

• how to move on the path to publication, from query letter to contract
• how to develop your agent/editor wishlist
• how to write an eye-catching query letter
• how to get more requests for your work
• how to use rejection as a stepping stone to improvement
• how to survive the submission process

…and much, much MORE! Both sessions are designed to be informative and interactive with lots of discussion and detailed notes. I’ll share lots of practical tips and tricks from industry pros–basically I’ll do whatever I can to help you write/revise/submit a novel that really and truly SHINES. Hope to see you there! 🙂
