Writing Workshops

Come to a two hour workshop with some of the best writing teachers.

Who are workshops for?

  • For the writers who want craft instruction but don’t want a book coach (or can’t afford a coach).

  • For the writers stuck in the muddy middle.

  • For the writers who realize that writing is HARD.

  • For the writers humble enough to admit that it doesn’t just take talent, but takes learning the craft of writing to make a great book.

Choose from several workshops

o

Not a webinar on the theory of the writing, but two hours of hands-on instruction and feedback.

Scene Check!

March 14, 12:30 pm Eastern or March 14, 8pm Eastern

Scene Check! workshop

$47

We all love our darlings, those pithy scenes that make us smile like grandparents watching their grandchildren play. But how do we know if the reader will smile in the same way? How can we tell if the scene is needed or not? What are the scenes needed in a great story, anyway?

In this workshop we will go through the scene that every reader expects to see in each genre, what makes a scene work, how to decide to cut a scene PLUS I will edit live up to six submitted scenes to show the process in action.

***If you wish for your scene to be edited by Kat and possibly used as an example (you will get to be in the coaching ‘hot seat’ and get direct editing thoughts on your scene) choose the bump offer on the cart page.

A scene must be 2500 words or less and costs $42 extra.

Dialogue

March 28, 2023 @ 8pm Eastern

A two-hour workshop studying the art of dialogue

$47

Dialogue must be part of each story, but it isn’t always easy to write convincing, authentic dialogue.

Many times an editor or beta reader will have a feeling that the dialogue is off, but won’t know how to coach you on improving it. That’s why we’re inviting The Dialogue Doctor in to help us! 

Jeff Elkins, aka The Dialogue Doctor, will be teaching on Four Things You Can Do to Fix Your Dialogue.

Plus, you will have the opportunity to get a scene of your dialogue edited personally by Jeff for only $59! At check out you will have the opportunity to work 1:1 with Jeff. Click the link on the payment success page to fill in the Google Form. Limited to 10 spots.
