Workshop Description: Summary is a useful way to manage time in fiction—you can zip your reader through a period of years in a page or two, a summer in a paragraph, or a week in a simple phrase. If you keep it lively and concrete, we’ll stay with you, but all the while we’re waiting for the moment when you’ll stop time’s forward rush and make a scene. Scenes open a door in the wall of words and lets us experience the story with the characters, letting it unfold moment by moment, using a full range of dialogue, physical reactions, gestures, smells, sounds, feelings, and more. Whether your characters are careening down a mountainside or sharing a cup of coffee, when you really need our attention–for moments of discovery, conflict, crisis, and change—you have to make a scene

Mary Helen Stefaniak, a Milwaukee native, is a Professor of Creative Writing in Omaha, NE at Creighton University. Stefaniak set her novel The Turk and My Mother in Bayview. Her more recent novel, The Califfs of Baghdad, Georgia, won the Anisfield-Wolf Award. Stefaniak is a graduate of Marquette University and Iowa Writers’ Workshop.

Start Your Online Platform

by kerisilk

We have been talking about the importance of starting your platform before your book is published. Many publishers and agents want to see that you have a web presence before they even accept you. And, for the self published it is essential!

Chase & Google are offering a free series of webinars to help!!

I also work heavily in the social networking field so let me know if I can be of help — www.virtualfreedom.biz
