SSWW Welcomes Vijaya Schartz, Author of Many Novels

February 29, 2020 by Patricia Brooks

SCOTTSDALE SOCIETY OF WOMEN WRITERS

Welcomes Vijaya Schartz, Author

Science Fiction, Contemporary Romance

Non-fiction and Celtic Legends

Monthly Speaker/Dinner Meeting

Wed March 25th, 2020          5:30 pm – See PayPal info below*

Starfire Golf Club, 11500 N. Hayden Rd., Scottsdale, AZ 85260

Mission:  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 professionals relating to writing, publishing, and marketing of books, and camaraderie and support.

SPEAKER:  Vijaya Schartz, Author – Science Fiction, Contemporary Romance, Non-fiction and Celtic Legends

THE JOY OF POLISHING THE STORY:  You just wrote “The End.” Now, the true writing starts. You are ready to add meaning, nuance, foreshadowing, active setting, and subtle twists. Now, you can crank up the emotion and drama, adjust the pace, refine the storytelling, and add all the interesting flavors. Like when cooking, you add the special herbs, spices and sauces that will transform an ordinary fare into a culinary delight.

Born in France, award-winning author Vijaya Schartz never conformed to anything and could never refuse a challenge. She writes strong heroines, brave heroes, and cats. She likes action and exotic settings, in life and on the page. She traveled the world and claims she must be a time traveler, since she writes with the same ease about the far past and the far future. With thirty titles published, Vijaya Schartz writes action adventure laced with sensuality and suspense, in exotic, medieval, or futuristic settings. Her books collected many five-star reviews and literary awards.  Visit her at www.vijayaschartz.com

Patricia leads you to writing with passion because you must be an instrument for change.  The journey is fresh and uplifting as she shares with you how you too can be enthused as a writer of non-fiction while enhancing your career or your business, your life or your quest.

(2) Honor your personal mission

 

(3) Respect those for whom you need to be a voice.

 

 

  • Part One/A Winning Writing Plan.  Patricia gives you Tips on developing goals, objectives and strategies for your writing life.  Her philosophy is worth emulating.  She motivates you to launch your vision for success by being well organized and prepared in your writing.  With a timeline that is proven and ideas that work, she also extends to you the five W’s of reporting good information for a non-fiction publication and illustrates how to write well to communicate your message to your niche. 
  • Part Two/Strict Research Rules.  Patricia asks you to do your homework, understand research, practice good interview skills, read, experiment, observe, survey and learn your topic well.  In thinking about your vision for the book, and what your insight is behind the book, she encourages you to eventually understand yourself completely.  She wants you to be honest about how committed you are to write this book and how willing you are to doing a follow-up plan.  She expects you to ask yourself why you feel compelled to write what you want to produce, and why you believe you are the expert.
