[email protected]

Available individually or as a set, and adapted
to each class/group's age and your curricula. 

     1. Ramping up Dick, Jane & Sally - Compelling Characters
     2. WoW Deep Layer World Building
     3. Ticking Time Bombs - Constructing Exciting Plots

Hands On Editing workshop for serious writers*:
     4. Developing a Basic Writer's Tool Box
     5. Writing Lessons Learned from a Public Restroom
     6. Machetes and Scalpels - Editing Tools You Use


*Note: being an author takes tough skin, gut deep determination, super-human listening skills, and marathon endurance. These Hands On Editing workshops are NOT for the light of heart. Expect your baby to be shredded - are you up to the task? Your anonymous sample work will be sent prior to the workshop and will be shared during our time. A completed manuscript is not necessary, but a sample is required for entry.

One author/year of a contemporary teen mystery will be given a referral to the Poisoned Pencil editor.

Sessions available in person w/in IA or AZ 
or through Skype.
