Presentations
I currently offer these seminars.
Making Voice Rock In this workshop, I define voice and demonstrate how to use scene descriptions to elucidate character. Participants are given an opportunity to try out these ideas on their own writing or illustrating. Genres: all
I ♥ Novel Revision In this seminar, I show how to use a spreadsheet to analyze novel structure and scene causality, identify scenes that need tightening, track the emotional path of the novel and verify that the novel remains true to its theme. Genres: novel
How to Write Fight Scenes The idea for this talk was conceived while simultaneously critiquing manuscripts and watching my sons train in Tae Kwon Do. The workshop includes a fun, physiological description of the fight or flight reaction and eleven rules for writing fights. Genres: novel
