MONTHLY PUBLISHING Q&A WITH INDIGO EDITING
Tuesday, April 23, 2024
3-4 pm ET
(virtual from anywhere)
$10 to register (free for Indigo Editing clients only)
Join Ali Shaw, and special guest Katey Schultz, for Indigo Editing’s monthly Q&A about the publishing process, the business of writing, and the book world in general. If you have urgent questions about how your book is progressing through the publishing path, bring them! If you’ve always wondered about something more obscure, like how to tell if an antique book is a first edition or what librarians do at trade shows, bring those too!
FLASH IN A FLASH
Saturdays, April 27 and May 4, 2024
5-7 pm ET
49 Writers (virtual from anywhere)
Katey will teach Flash in a Flash with 49 Writers. Flash is one of the most popular genres being written and published today. Whether you’re already published, mired in NaNoWriMo drafts, deep into a memoir project, or fully devoted to fiction, the skills required in flash fiction and flash nonfiction will improve your ability to handle scene, embed metaphor, and target a character’s desires with precision. In this class you will learn the defining traits of flash form writing, study noteworthy examples, and begin new flashes from prompts delivered during class time. You will leave the presentation feeling more confident about scene, concision, and that elusive “so what?” factor that can turn anecdotal writing into impactful narrative. Register here!
