Workshops:
Tame the Tomato: Time Management for Writers
All writers have unlimited time, no procrastination problems, and stellar organizational abilities…right? Ahem. The truth is, most of us are squeezing writing time around busy work and family schedules, and when we do finally sit down to write, we end up wasting time on social media instead (oh, the humanity!). Join Lindsay as she shares the time-management secrets that have enabled her to juggle simultaneous multi-book contracts, ghostwriting jobs, an editing business, and a trio of hungry homeschoolers. You will leave equipped with tools and techniques to help you maximize your writing time and produce more than you thought possible.
Weaving Worlds: Crafting Story Universes
Award-winning YA fantasy novelist Lindsay A. Franklin invites you behind the curtain of creation to explore ten essential elements of unforgettable world-building. From the tangibility of the physical world to the sweep of political intrigue, you’ll learn how to anchor your story in believable, living settings—whether you’re conjuring a fantastical realm, reconstructing a bygone era, or setting the scene for a contemporary tale. Together, we’ll explore the nuts and bolts of great fictional universes and how you can assemble them into something wholly your own. Just don’t be surprised if we wander off the map, tumble down the rabbit hole, or slip through the wardrobe before we’re done.
