For Writers’ Groups and Writers’ Conferences
Linda teaches many kinds of writers' seminars from 1-hour sessions to full weekend workshops on the art and craft of writing. Linda’s application of the three-act structure to children’s book writing has helped hundreds of prospective authors solve plotting problems and deliver crisp, compelling storylines.
Other topics include:
Developing believable characters
Revising for tight, clean manuscripts
Enhancing salability of your work
Taking your work to market - cover letters, query letters and proposals
For Schools and Libraries
Linda gives students insight into the writing -- and reading -- process. Students meeting a “real author” begin to understand that books come from inside – inside real people just like them. Favorite topics for children include:
What it’s like to be a writer
Where ideas come from
How stories get from idea to manuscript to book
