Rejection, Romance, and Royalties Offered as a one-hour or 90-minute session

| Inspired by Laura's popular non-fiction book of the same title, this workshop, which is more advanced than the Twenty Questions session, is aimed primarily at professional writers (or at an audience interested in the challenges of mid-career writers). The topics (outlined in a handout) include being orphaned at your publisher, surviving bad editors, dealing with production and packaging, overcoming creative burnout, and resurrecting a damaged career. Attendees are encouraged to ask questions and to introduce discussion topics that interest them
|
|
Story Development Offered as a 90-minute or two-hour session |
 |
Once you have a story idea... what do you do next? This lively, interactive session examines some principles and practices for developing, constructing, revising, and fine-tuning a story from a basic idea. Together, Laura Resnick and attendees explore different ways in which premises lead to plots, themes, characters, and plot reversals, as well as the ways in which rejections and revision letters send the writer back to the drawing board to try again. This session works well for a variety of groups, genres, and venues. Required equipment: A writing surface (as well as writing implements and erasers) that can be easily seen by all attendees, such as a dry-erase board or chalkboard

We received numerous compliments on her workshops from emerging and experienced authors, across many genres. They appreciated her use of pertinent examples and particularly enjoyed her great sense of humor!" |
