Davalynn Spencer (author) - "Don't Be a Trouble Maker!": Creating Conflict in Your Characters' Lives
Conflict and obstacles are the last things any of us need in our everyday existence, so as authors we sometimes shelter our beloved characters to spare them the pain.
Stop that. Stop it right now! No one wants to read a namby-pamby story about some person with a perfect life who lives in a perfect world.
Conflict-riddled readers need conflict in their stories
because they need victory - even if it's someone else's.
Join us for a hands-on workshop presented by Davalynn Spencer (no fisticuffs, we promise) on how to be a trouble-maker.

Scoti Domeij (author)
- Life's Tsunamis: Barreling Through the Ultimate
Writing Block
Deluged by
stressful circumstances? Suffocated by a
life-altering event? Is it possible to reclaim
the oxygen of motivation to stay afloat and to
write, when you're drowning and don't know how
to swim? At one point or another, rogue waves
will wipe out a writer's world, washing away
their desires, designs, and dreams to write.
Scoti Domeij takes a hard look at how to write
while submerged by life's tsunamis. When
swallowed by a monster billow, discover
how the salty psychology of seismic
circumstances unleashes a
tsunami of words.

Donna Schlachter (author)
- Crafting Good Suplots, the key to every story
Regardless of the genre, readers want
stories that are more than just surface
excursions into the imagination. In this
class, we'll learn about using subplots to
add tension; flesh out characters; and offer
a distraction from the main story that
serves as a kind of red herring.
Bio: Donna lives in Denver with husband Patrick. She
writes historical suspense under her own
name, and contemporary suspense under her
alter ego of Leeann Betts, and has been
published more than 25 times in novellas and
full-length novels. She is a member of
American Christian Fiction Writers, Writers
on the Rock, and Sisters In Crime;
facilitates a critique group, and teaches
writing classes. Donna ghostwrites, edits,
and judges in writing contests. She loves
history and research, and travels
extensively for both. Donna is represented
by Terrie Wolf of AKA Literary Management.
