  • S3—E8—Why In-Person Writing Conferences
    Sep 26 2024

    Thinking about attending a writing conference but not sure if it’s worth the in-person commitment? In this video, I break down 3 major reasons why you should prioritize attending in-person writing events—whether it’s a writing conference, festival, or workshop. While online events are convenient, nothing beats the real-time connection, energy, and opportunities that come from being face-to-face with fellow writers, speakers, and industry professionals.

    Here’s what we’ll cover:

    In-Person Learning: Discover the unmatched value of learning directly from experienced authors and teachers in the same room.

    Community & Networking: Build lifelong friendships and professional connections with other writers.

    Growth Opportunities: Step out of your comfort zone and take advantage of unique experiences like pitching agents, public speaking, and more.

    Whether you're an extrovert who thrives in crowds or an introvert who prefers smaller interactions, I’ll share tips on how to make the most of these events. Join me for practical advice on expanding your writer’s journey beyond the screen and into real-world connections!

    Tell me, did I convince to attend a writer's conference?

    Aug 28 2024

    Want to create a villain that keeps your readers hooked? In this video, I dive deep into the art of writing a deliciously attractive villain. Using examples from my own work, particularly my book Wisps of Gold, and comparing them to iconic characters like The Darkling from Shadow and Bone, I reveal the secrets behind crafting a compelling antagonist.

    You'll learn:

    How to give your villain a unique appeal that your hero (and readers) can't resist.

    The importance of charisma and mystery in villainous characters.

    Why power, prestige, and moral struggles make your villain unforgettable.

    And more!

    Perfect for writers looking to enhance their storytelling with complex, engaging villains. Don't miss out on these essential tips!
