Hey Writers! You don't have to travel to Edmonds WA this year for the writers' conference--though we will miss you. This year the WOTS (Write on the Sound) conference is on-line. Our EPIC Board members, Laura Moe and Mindy Halleck are teaching workshops.
Laura is teaching, Make It to the Finish Line. Nearly 90% of people say they’d love to write a book, but only 5% actually finish. In this session she will address the numerous barriers that prevent many prospective novelists and memoirists from realizing their lifelong dreams of writing a book. She will also discuss long-term benefits of finishing a project, present strategies for participants to complete their manuscripts, and provide insights about publishing options. Laura spent most of her working life as a librarian and English teacher in Ohio, and moved to Seattle where she writes full-time and is an active member of SCBWI and EPIC Group Writers. Moe is the author of Breakfast with Neruda (Simon & Schuster/Merit Press, 2016), Blue Valentines (2019), and The Language of The Son (2019). www.lauramoebooks.com Mindy Halleck will be teaching a class titled, MERMAIDS, MAIDENS or MYSTICS— 8 Female Archetypes Every Writer Should Know. Sign up quick! Right now Mindy's creating a workbook that you will get in class that will serve as your guide to creating complex female characters. Mindy is an award-winning author, motivational speaker and writing instructor. Halleck’s debut novel, Return to Sender, was released to 5-Star reviews, a Reader’s Choice award and selected as one of Kirkus Review’s Top Twenty Indie Novels of 2015. She has won short-story writing contests and is a frequent guest lecturer in University of Washington’s fiction writing classes, as well as other Puget Sound area colleges. In addition to being a writer, Halleck is a happily married, globe-trotting beachcomber and three-time cancer survivor who credits part of her healing journey(s) to the art of writing. www.mindyhalleck.com JOIN US!
