More Information: Are you struggling with the details in
your story? Are readers and editors telling you that your details are too
thin, your dialog clunky, and your characters not believable? Are you
struggling to make the readers of your stories as inspired by the movies
playing inside your head as you are? Your problems might go back to what
details you tell in a story, how you tell them, and when you choose to tell
them. Learn how to start identifying and decoding the details in fiction
that you can use to bring the movie out of your head intact.
Handouts will be provided with the presentation.
Come with your favorite writing utensil and be prepared for some fun writing
assignments.
About the Presenter: DeAnna Knippling is a professional
writer, editor, and book designer living in Littleton, Colorado. She has
written over twenty-five novels, mostly published under other people’s names,
and a lot of short stories, mostly published under her own. She has been
published in Black Static, Penumbra, Crossed Genres, and
more. She needs a hot cup of tea, a bath, and a nap, although probably
not at the same time. She often writes best in the middle of a) reckless
challenges, b) with a timer in the background, or c) while telling people that
she’s a terrible writer and should be removed from the word pool. You can
find out more about her work at www.WonderlandPress.com.
