Workshops for the Winners

Marketing and Mindfulness
with Carolyn Potts

Anyone who’s ever obsessed over a situation –and wished they could stop thinking about it – knows the suffering that mental loops create. Here’s the good news: all of those negative states start in the mind. Carolyn, an industry leading creative consultant, will share insights into employing effective “inner” as well as “outer” marketing tactics and strategies.

Atypical Self-Publishing
with Daniel Milnor

This workshop will speak to the new freedoms and how best to utilize the existing publishing platforms. Dan will cover topics such as utilizing more than one format, collaboration, best use of magazine, serial publishing, themed books and how to best communicate with an audience interested in supporting the independent publisher.

Sticking the Landing
with Ron Dawson

The importance of a strong ending in storytelling... we've all seen it. The movie is firing on all cylinders up to the last act, or even the last scene, and the ending just falls apart, retroactively tainting the whole experience. In this workshop Ron will use various examples to show to ensure every story you tell "sticks the landing."

Following Your Curiosity
with Geoffrey Gray

Geoffrey attributes much of his success as a writer to finding and maintaining his style while endlessly exploring his insatiable curiosity. Many writers get bogged down writing about the same general topics in an effort to become the subject matter expert, only to find themselves burned out after years of trying to rewrite the same thing. Geoffrey eschews that approach and will discuss his tips and tricks for keeping deeply engaged with a wide variety of interests.
