Upcoming Writing Workshops from Janice Hardy

By Janice Hardy, @Janice_Hardy

I’ve got a lot going on the rest of 2019, and there will be a few more added to this list in the months ahead (two are still being finalized--one in Tampa in August and another in St. Augustine in November).

If you live in Florida, or will be heading down to Florida, there's a decent chance I'll be at a conference or workshop event near you. I'll also be traveling to Texas this October. Not only will it be my first time doing a workshop in that region, it'll be my first visit to the state. A busy, but exciting year for me.

Here’s an updated list of my workshops and events:

June 
Winter Park, FL: Orlando Word Lab 
Wednesday, June 26, 7pm
Winter Park Library
460 E New England Ave, Winter Park, FL 32789

This workshop is free and open to the public.

My Workshop: Building Your Story World: Developing Setting and World Building

World building is vital to every novel, but it’s more than just describing the setting. It’s conveying the rules of the world, the subtext of a society, and the role your characters play in that story. A well-crafted setting draws in readers and makes them feel part of the world, and better still—makes them want to return to that world again and again. In this workshop, writers will learn tricks to bring their story world to life without it taking over the novel. They’ll also discover how to background setting and world details, use point of view to enhance the setting, and show, not tell, their story world.
