Ten Tips to Tighten Your Fiction Writing As the saying goes, “Close only counts in…hand grenades.” Don’t let your manuscript bomb because of easily overlooked errors, or for lack of sophistication and polish. Learn how to make every chapter count, every scene earn its keep, every main character memorable. Award-winning Bantam Random House author Linnea Sinclair will take you though ten tips (and more!) that will make your story shine, move it out of the slush pile, onto an editor’s desk so that—when on the shelves—it can garner reviews that note: A must-read, by an author who never disappoints! Attendees need sample pages of their work-in-progress (including their first page) and be prepared to share and improve!

Character Torture 101 (two week class) Presented by Linnea Sinclair

Writing Guru Dwight Swain said that it’s the author’s job to manipulate the emotions of the reader . There’s no better way to do this than for the author to put his characters through one roller coaster episode after another , taking the reader along for the ride. But how much conflict, how much character angst is too much? How can an author keep the action from becoming cartoonish? Bantam Spectra author Linnea Sinclair answers those questions and more in this fun and fast-paced (because torturing students is good, too!) workshop that explores the importance of conflict in today’s commercial fiction novels.

WHEN: September 19 through 30, 2010
