April 20 Meeting - Can We Build It?

Scenes are the building blocks of story. If your scenes are weak, the whole structure will fail. 

Join Ann Voss Peterson to discuss what makes a scene strong and how to construct yours to support a spectacular story.

March Meeting - Plotting Party!

Have an idea but you're not sure where to go with it?

Know the first part of your story but not how to finish it?

In love with a character but not sure what to do with her?

Bring them all to the plotting party on March 23! Your fellow writers can help you figure out GMC, Act Breaks, Black Moments and more!

Don't have an idea you need help with right now? Come and help your friends!

February 23 Meeting: e-Publishing Roundtable

You've heard a lot about indie e-publishing. Maybe you’ve dabbled in it, but feel like there has to be a better way. Or perhaps you've had one too many “Thanks, but we're going in a different direction” traditional publishing rejection letters. Whatever your path, we can help!

Join Mad City Romance on February 23 for an e-publishing roundtable. We have a number of authors who’ve chosen the e-publishing route, and there should be some great discussion on process, experience, and the good, the bad, the ugly and the awesome in the e-publishing route. Get answers to your questions, some tips and tricks, and a solid blueprint for publishing and making sure you have everything covered.

The session will be moderated by Lisette Carrithers, who has 11 self-published novels and also teaches a Mechanics of e-Publishing course through the Wisconsin Union. She likes to think she's learned a thing or two. There will be plenty of other people participating, including Ann Voss Peterson and Angie Tyler, who have seen success in both traditional and e-publishing. So bring tons of questions. We look forward to a frank, fun conversation on the exploding world of e-publishing!
