Join Us November 15 for ‘Taking the Show on the Road’ with Susan Spann

Successful travel writing transports readers to another time and place. Join Us November 15 to learn the secrets of helping your readers see, hear, smell, and taste locations that leap off the page and ignite the imagination. Whether you’re writing nonfiction (memoir, true-adventure, and travelogue) or fiction (historical, thriller, and literary), this workshop will help your settings come alive.

Susan Spann is the award-winning, bestselling author of CLIMB (Prometheus Books, 2020), a narrative nonfiction chronicle of her quest to overcome cancer, break free from fear, and climb 100 Japanese mountains in a single year, as well as the Hiro Hattori novels, a historical mystery series featuring the ongoing adventures of master ninja Hiro Hattori and Portuguese Jesuit Father Mateo.

Join Us October 25 for Kerry Schafer on ‘Creating Life-like Characters with a Little Help from Psychology and Personality Testing’

In this entertaining and interactive class (at least as interactive as zoom allows!), Kerry Schafer will share her secrets for using elements of psychology and Myers-Briggs Personality Typing to create characters so lifelike readers feel like they could sit down with them for a cup of coffee — or follow them off on an adventure! 

Kerry (who also writes as Kerry Anne King) is a Washington Post and Amazon charts bestselling author who writes quirky paranormal mysteries and compelling and transformational stories about family and personal growth. 

Kerry has been chosen as the 2020 Writer of the Year by the Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers Association. Her most recent novel, Everything You Are, is a finalist in the Nancy Pearl Awards hosted by the Pacific Northwest Writers Association.  In addition to writing, she is enthusiastic about encouraging and supporting other writers and is the host of Tell Me Your Secrets, a videocast/podcast featuring lively, informal interviews with authors and other people involved in bringing books into the world. She also loves speaking and teaching on a variety of writing related topics.

When not absorbed in creative pursuits, you’ll find Kerry Anne hanging out with her real-life Viking on their little piece of heaven in rural northeastern Washington. www.writeattheedge.com
