Please join us for the Houston YA/MG Writers February Meeting- Saturday, February 18, 2012
YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A MEMBER TO ATTEND AND THERE'S NO COST- ALL ARE WELCOME!
Kimberly Ivey will lead us in a hands-on workshop entitled Purpose, Power and Pizazz! You don't want to miss out on this opportunity to improve your work in progress, whether you're a newbie or a pro! Please see below for a detailed description of the workshop, what you'll need to bring, and Kimberly's bio. If you don't have a full chapter to work with, bring what you've got or just take notes- this will be valuable for us all.
We officially start at 9:30 but come at 9 if you'd like to get in some "catching up time". The meeting is in our permanent location- the Community Room at the H.E.B. at 9710 Katy Freeway. The cross street is Bunker Hill, and the store is on the north side of the freeway. The store phone number is 713-647-5900 if you need directions. The Community Room is at the front, just before the main entrance to the grocery store and to the left of the frozen yogurt shop. If you have any questions or need further information, please email Jessica Capelle at jessicacapelle@gmail.com.
Purpose, Power and Pizazz!
Whether you're already a published author or have recently embarked on the adventure of penning your first novel, undertaking novel length fiction can seem like a daunting task. Kimberly Ivey takes the fear out of writing in this fast, fun and informative mini workshop, Purpose, Power and Pizazz! Learn how to organize the components of your book quickly and easily, beginning with visualization of your story's structure, followed by dividing those components into chapters with purpose and punch. Discover how to avoid trouble spots and fine tune tension, pacing, and hooks like the pros. Make YOUR book stand out above the rest!
IMPORTANT: Bring one full chapter of your work in progress for brief exercises, plus pen, paper and laptop for notes.
