Third Annual Fall Writers Workshops

Presented by Desert Rose Chapter of Romance Writers of America at the Scottsdale Civic Center Library, 3839 Drinkwater Boulevard Scottsdale.

The keynote speaker is Vicki Lewis Thompson. Also speaking are, among others, Linda Style, Kerrie Droban, Laurie Schnebly Campbell, Jennifer Ashley and three of the diabolical bloggers from Much Cheaper Than Therapy. My program is How to Structure a Compelling Novel. The conference is totally free, and last year they also provided coffee. It's well worth your time and one of the best bargains in the state.

BOOTCAMP for Novelists

My longstanding intensive on the basics of plot, characaterization and structure. Preregistration is required. Click on Bootcamp for Novelists for the registration form. This is my first basic Bootcamp in over a year and is aimed for the writer who has already started a book and can't quite get it off the ground, or the experienced writer who has bogged on a project. Beginners are welcome but do know that you may feel lost at times. I'll do my best to guide you through if you decide to take that leap.

The fee is $85. Register by November 15 and receive a $10 discount.
