Free Workshop Will Help Budding Authors Hone Skills, Oct. 9

Join us for a free online workshop with Janice Hardy as she presents Bringing Your Novel to Life, designed to help novice and seasoned authors hone their writing skills.

Great novels blend skilled writing with compelling storytelling, using a multitude of techniques to draw readers in and make them love the book. These techniques work together to build immersive story worlds, creating characters readers love, settings they want to live in, and stories they can’t put down. In this workshop, writers will learn techniques to bring a novel to life for readers. Use point of view to show, not tell, and draw readers in without infodumping; find the best ways to describe the setting and build a world; tap into the emotions of the characters and use those emotions to drive the plot and deepen the story; and how all these techniques work together to build a novel.

JANICE HARDY is the award-winning author and founder of Fiction University, where she helps writers improve their craft and navigate the crazy world of publishing. She teaches writing workshops across the country, and her blog has been recognized as a Top Writing Blog by Writer’s Digest. When she’s not writing about writing, she spins tales of adventure for both teens and adults, and firmly believes that doing terrible things to her characters makes them more interesting. She loves talking with writers and readers, and encourages questions of all types—even the weird ones. Find out more about her and her books at http://blog.janicehardy.com/

This workshop is on Zoom and registration is required.

The video is available for on-demand viewing October 10 – October 31.
