WHY:             The Scottsdale Society of Women Writers gives members access to events of interest, a format for exchanging ideas, an opportunity to network with other women writers and authors, an alliance with businesses relating to writing, publishing, camaraderie and support.

 

SPEAKER/presentation:  The “writing conversation” is at once robust and foggy, whether it manifests online or in conference rooms, bars or wherever writers gather.  They debate process, they compare premises, they swap tips and offer recommendations, and yet very seldom does the noise seem to coalesce into undebatable principles and immediately applicable practices.  And yet those do exist, residing among and above all this noise, awaiting discovery by writers who are tired of decades of trial and error and rejection.  Larry Brooks talks about it all, cutting through the noise in the process.

Larry Brooks is the author of two bestselling writing books: “Story Engineering,” and “Story Physics.”  His new writing book – “Story Fix: Transform Your Manuscript from Broken to Brilliant in Just One Draft” will be published in September 2015 by Writers Digest Books. Brooks is the USA Today bestselling author of six thrillers.  He teaches at workshops and conferences nationally and internationally, and coaches writers through his website, www.storyfix.com.

Betty Webb
April 25th Speaker – Betty is the author of the prize-winning Lena Jones
mystery series and a reviewer & columnist for Mystery Scene Magazine. Her
books have been given rave reviews by the New York Times, Chicago Tribune,
Publishers Weekly, etc. Before beginning to write full time, she was a
journalist, interviewing everyone from U.S. presidents, astronauts who walked
on the moon, and Nobel Prize winners.
Talk: Betty will discuss d ep personal beliefs can enhance your writing, not only in non-fiction, but in fiction, too. To do so, she draws parallels between her journalism  experience and the plots of her 11 novels — all published by “traditional” mainstream presses to great critical acclaim. She will also share how she got the idea for a book she’s writing for her first self-published digital book experience (and its funny!).
