Save the Date - 2013 Summer Meetings

We'll have more information at the June meeting, but for now, mark your calendars for our July and August meetings: July 20 and August 24.

June 22, 2013 Meeting - Deconstructing Christine Feehan's Dark Nights

Analyzing someone else's work is a great way to learn more about what works and what doesn't, and WHY! And talking about someone else's work with a bunch of your fellow authors can make the analysis even more interesting and insightful.

Join us on June 22 to talk about Christine Feehan's Dark Nights. (Note: this book was voted on by you all, so I'm counting on people reading it!!)

There are a number of copies of the book available from the library.

Come ready to discuss! If you'd like the discussion worksheet ahead of time, please contact Rachel B-VH.

May 11 Meeting - Weight Loss for Your Writing

Storytelling is obviously a key part of writing a good book, but the way you write and the words you use (and don’t use) are equally vital. It’s just as important for your manuscript to be fit as it is for your body. 

Join Amy Knupp as she uses in-depth examples to discuss concepts such as trimming the fat from your writing, adding bulk without bulge, and toning your words to give them more muscle. 

Whether you’re self-publishing, writing for a traditional publisher, a newbie or seasoned writer, you can make your writing more powerful, which will keep your readers engaged, improve your pacing, and make for better storytelling in the end.
