The Fantasy, Futuristic and Paranormal Chapter of RWA Presents "Story, Theme and Vehicle" Presented by Susan Meier

October 4, 2010 - October 31, 2010

Have you ever written a book that was good, but simply didn't seem good enough? Or one that wasn't cohesive? Or one that should have been wonderful but seemed to fall flat? In Story, Theme and Vehicle, Susan Meier explains how knowing your book's story type, story question, and the difference between its theme and its "idea" will keep your book focused. Learn the five easy steps to a synopsis and the four steps to a one-paragraph pitch.

WHERE: This workshop will be conducted via a Yahoo! email loop. Email invitations will be sent 48 hours prior to the beginning of the workshop.

HOW: Just register for the workshop and complete the payment process via PayPal. The cost is $15.00 for FFnP members and $25.00 for non-FFnP members. Please note payment is due at the time of registration.
