Stuck on a blank page? Wondering how to build suspense in your story? Willing to travel to Boston?
MWA University, the daylong writing seminar run by MWA national, will be held at the Hyatt Regency in Beantown this February 14. Scheduled instructors and classes include:
▪ Jess Lourey on “The Blessing and Curse of Genre Writing”
▪ Louis Bayard on “Handling Backstory and Multiple Timelines”
▪ Julie Hyzy on “The Art of the Supporting Characters”
▪ And our own just-named Edgar nominee Alison Gaylin on “A Streetcar Named Suspense”
▪ Plus, there will be author-led critiques of your story pitches and synopses.
The cost is $90 for MWA members and $125 for non-members. You can find more information here.
This event is being hosted by the fine folks at the MWA New England chapter. (Our chapter ran a very successful MWA University in Philadelphia last year.) Listening to established writers talk about craft can be very inspirational. Yes, it’s on Valentine’s Day. But what’s a better way to show your writing career that you care?
