This comes from a press release from the Romance Writers of New Zealand. It might be of
interest to some.
It's specifically for the Friday workshop. You can find the full conference schedule over at the RWNZ website. You can attend just the Friday session or the whole weekend.
Fiction-writing Dummy No Longer
A Day with Randy Ingermanson (The Snowflake
Guy)
Calling all writers. It's time to learn how to get that inner novel
into print.
Romance Writers of New Zealand is bringing Randy Ingermanson, the
author of six novels and the bestselling book, Writing Fiction for Dummies, to New
Zealand to present a full-day workshop. This will take place on Friday, August
24, from 9am to 5pm at Auckland's Crowne Plaza Hotel. Writers of all genres are
welcome and encouraged to hear this world-class speaker guide them on the path
to creating successful commercial fiction. The workshop consists of five
sessions: Building Great Characters; Story Architecture; The Snowflake Method;
Writing the Perfect Scene (divided into two parts); finishing with analyzing the
popular book The Hunger
Games.
Affectionately known as ‘America’s Mad Professor of Fiction Writing’,
Randy’s passion is teaching people how to organize their writing lives, how to
create fiction, and how to market that fiction to the reading public. The award
winning writer says,“Great organization keeps you
productive. Great creative skill will sell you to the publisher. Great marketing
will sell you to the reader.”
Most people believe they have a novel in them waiting to be written
and after spending a day with Randy that dream could become
reality.
