THIS is the Workshop I Wish I’d Found in My Early Years of Writing

Why? Because this Workshop reveals the elusive qulaity editors want – and the quality readers truly want, even when they don’t realize it. More important, this workshop reaches past the usual plot-plus-character jargon and shows how to capture that elusive quality in your story.

Elusive? Yes. For example, in 15 seconds, can you add a single word to each of the following words and create a recognizable phrase? THROAT, LOSER, SPOT.

Only 20 seats are allotted for this powerful, hands-on seminar: Increase Your Story’s Vitality

Did you answer the question above? If so, was your answer one of the following: biggest, deep, black? If, instead, you answered correctly with SORE, pat yourself on the back. But now – what important writer’s tool did you just discover? And how can you use it to merge character with setting?

As a successful author, ghostwriter, and teacher of fiction and narrative nonfiction writing, I was rather amazed to discover I was overlooking a key element, even though that element somehow found its way into my work. When we write well intuitively, that’s a gift – a wonderful gift – but only when we know how to create the same effect again and again, on purpose, can we depend on it.

Never before has this powerful material been included in my classes, not at Rice University School of Continuing Studies, University of Houston Extension Program, The Women’s Institute of Houston, nor at national or local seminars – because I only recently winnowed it from my own studies. You can be one of the first to experience this unfolding.

Take another 15 seconds and answer this one: Which famous author of classical fiction frequently started his story with an ear worm to engage readers?

In this Workshop, you will discover how an ear worm can be addictive and how you can use this addiction to engage readers at any point in your story. And by the way, if you answered Charles Dickens, you’re right.  To learn more, REGISTER NOW.

This time, take a full minute to determine how the following sentence includes 4 little known writer’s tricks to capture a reader. “My God,” said the Queen, “let go my leg.” 

Only 20 seats – and they’re going fast. With restricted attendance, you can be certain of getting the hands-on attention you want when committing your valuable time to a classroom.
