THE WRITE THING CONFERENCE

Are you looking to up your writing game? Connect with Other Writers? How about some inspiration? CTRWA's got you covered! Join us for a one day conference to get you on the "write" track! CTRWA is thrilled to welcome:

Kristan Higgins: NY Times, USA Today, and Publisher's Weekly bestselling author will present: He Said, She Said: Writing Great Dialogue: Great dialogue can make or break your story. It drives pacing, clues us in to the character's personality, and helps us identify with them. Learn from a master of wit what it takes to make your dialogue sparkle (and if we know Kristan, this is sure to be an entertaining presentation!)

Jamie Beck: Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author speaking on: Choosing the Right Point of View: You may think you understand point of view, but how can you be sure which one is the strongest choice for your story? Let Jamie help you master your story telling technique by connecting on a deeper level with your readers.

Jason Wrench: Don’t Underestimate the Importance of Body Language! A professor in the Department of Communication at SUNY New Paltz, Jason has plenty to share about how to help your characters communicate without speaking a word! With over 20 academic books and 15 romances published, he has a lot of wisdom to impart on this topic that doesn't get nearly enough attention.

Barnes & Noble: Working with Booksellers. A representative from Barnes & Noble will be joining us to break down how to most effectively work with booksellers and how you can get your own work on their shelves.

PLUS: Vendors, lunch, a book signing, and so much more!
