'Muddled Cherries' Launch Party

Join author Sally Collins at Write On, Door County in Juddville on August 13 anytime from 5:30 - 7:30 pm to celebrate the official release of 'Muddled Cherries.' Mingle while sipping on an old-fashioned or kiddie cocktail, nibble on an array of tasty cheese and cherry-themed treats, nod in time to the music that inspired the novel. The event will also feature a short reading and book signing.

During the two hour Zoom sessions you’ll receive feedback regarding your work from colleagues and a complete critique from instructor Laurie Scheer. This is a safe and supportive space that provides insight and encouragement from like-minded writers. There will be a limit of 8 participants to the group so that everyone receives time and feedback every session. The group is designed for all levels of fiction, non-fiction, and memoir writers in either short or long form.

The way it works: Zoom links will be sent to writers prior to each session. Participants will share their work electronically. Participants should be familiar with Zoom and willing to read their work aloud during the session. Formatting requirements and critique guidelines will be provided by Ms. Taylor. Please Note: WWA Highly recommends that participants have a computer and reliable access to the internet. It is nearly impossible to participate in the sessions using only a smart phone. Having a rudimentary understanding of Word and Zoom are also recommended.

What makes a character unforgettable? In this workshop, we’ll examine some remarkable characters in literature and then run through a series of exercises to explore your protagonist’s physical and psychological attributes, strengths, weaknesses (including the fatal flaw), desires, and overriding goal. For writers of novels, memoirs, children’s middle grade and YA, and short stories.

The way it works: Participants will email their pages to the other group members at least one week prior to the session so that each participant may review and prepare critiques for their fellow writers and be ready to discuss on meeting day. During the session each writer will read from their submission and hear constructive advice from peers and facilitator Lisa Lickel. Participants will provide their feedback to their peers following the session.

You may have come across admonishments to “find your voice.” Or maybe you’ve heard people say of a book that the voice drew them in. What exactly is voice, though? In this session, we’ll unpack the concept and come to understand where it originates and how we can work it into our narration in order to engage readers. Voice is often equated to writing style, but it’s true source is what characters think of their story problems. Use it well and you’ll get readers investing in your characters and their dilemmas. We’ll draw from both fiction and creative nonfiction for this 90-minute session. Tim Storm brings to his teaching an academic’s understanding of craft concepts but also a grounding in practical applications to his students’ varied writing projects.
