Into a Writer's Head

March Online Class

Eastside RWA is proud to present their new online workshop, "A Very Good Place to Start," with Nancy Warren on March 20-24th

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times…

It is a truth, universally acknowledged, that a single man of good fortune must be in want of a wife…

There are some men who enter a woman’s life and screw it up forever. Joseph Morelli did this to me – not forever, but periodically…

A Very Good Place to Start

Beginnings are important. We all know how many books there are out there and how little time consumers have to make their choice. How many manuscripts hit an editor’s desk and how little time she has to decide whether she wants to see more, or wants to work with this author. The author’s job is to grab the reader’s attention from the first line, first paragraph, first page and hook them.

How do you do this? This hands-on workshop offers practical techniques for discovering where your story really starts and for making that beginning stand out. You'll look at different ways to open a story and how to make your writer’s voice emerge on the first page. You’ll study a few wildly successful beginnings and study them in depth, then you’ll work on our own. Participants are invited to bring the first few pages of their work in progress.

Nancy Warren is the USA Today Bestselling author of more than twenty sexy, humorous novels and novellas for Harlequin and Kensington publishers. Nancy has won many awards for her writing, including the Romantic Times Reviewer’s Choice Award for Best Blaze of 2002 and the Laurel Wreath. In 2004 she was a double Rita award finalist. Nancy holds an honors degree in English literature and lives in the Pacific Northwest.
