Shake out that fall sweater and your writing utensils to join Lancaster Christian Writers Saturday, October 20, 2018, at Lancaster Alliance Church,
210 Pitney Rd (off Hwy 30 across from Costco) from 9:30AM-12 noon
(registration opens at 9). This month we welcome fantasy novelist and
world-builder par excellence Ruth Morris,
who will be sharing strategies on creating a believable world and
setting for your reader, whether you are writing fiction or telling that
true-life story (for those expecting a workshop on technical
aspects of publishing to Kindle/Createspace/Ingram Spark, that has been
rescheduled for our November meeting).
WORKSHOP: World
building is critical for writing fantasy. But it’s also important for
every genre. Whether your setting is around the corner, across the
globe, two thousand years ago, or in an imaginary world, choosing the
right elements pulls your reader in, adds tension and conflict, and
engages their imaginations. This workshop will look at eight components
of world building and discuss the power and potential of each. There will be time to brain storm ideas for your current project.
SPEAKER: Ruth Morris writes epic fantasy under the pen name Verity Moore. Summoned, first volume in her Through Ancient Portals
series, recently released. She has written non-fiction material for
ministries, is a retired teacher, and remains active as a taxi driver
for the Amish community, which allows plenty of thinking time to plot
her next novel.
CRITIQUE GROUPS: And don't forget to bring your latest work-in-progress (ten copies up to 1500 words).
As always, email questions or concerns to jeanette@jeanettewindle.com
