Description:
So many of us think, dream, and plan to write a book… someday. Join us to hear from two busy people who actually took the leap. During this conversation, moderated by someone who’s worked for years with authors, you’ll hear why these writers delayed as long as they did. (The reasons may sound very familiar). The authors will share tips on moving those ideas from your head onto a page. Spoiler alert: Do not expect a blissful flow of creativity and a clear, coherent, winning manuscript to quickly emerge.
Writers and aspiring writers at any stage of their journey are encouraged to register for this event, whether your work is in the category of fiction or nonfiction. There will also be time in the program for several audience members to succinctly share their own tips on getting started or a bit of advice with the community.
What we’ll cover:
-I couldn’t start the book, because…
-The trigger to actually begin the book
-How to decide the focus of your book.
-What to expect as you’re writing a book: the practical, logistical, psychological challenges most writers face.
-Tips on dealing with common challenges, including the question “How’s the book coming?”

After an award-winning career as a nonfiction author and journalist (including writing or editing for The New York Times, BusinessWeek, and Fortune), Fran Hawthorne a few years ago “took the leap” and returned to her childhood passion: fiction. Her second novel, I Meant to Tell You (published last fall by Stephen F. Austin State University Press), has been short-listed for the Sarton Award in contemporary fiction and won second place in women’s fiction and third place in adult fiction from the Feathered Quill Book Awards.
