February 2008 Meeting

Jump to Comments

We continue with our monthly meetings on the second Saturday of the month.

Our next meeting will be:
Saturday, February 9, 2008
10:00 a.m. - noon
Atlanta Bread Co.
1720 West End Avenue
Nashville, Tennessee

Discussion Topic: Writing the Dreaded Synopsis

    We all hate it—the dreaded synopsis! Kaye will share tips and tricks learned at a multitude of conferences, in grad school, and from other authors, agents, and editors on how to write a long synopsis to go along with your proposal, as well as one-sheet, one-paragraph, and one-line synopses for contests and pitch sessions.

    Hello,

    I’ll be in Nashville for a PMA Affiliate Retreat the week of March 30 - April 6. Would there be an opportunity for me to present a workshop for your writers’ group during the day or evening of March 31 or April 1 or 2?

    I’ll be coming from the Atlanta Spring Book Show where I’ll be conducting a 3-hour seminar on the book proposal and a one-hour workshop on successful publishing. Maybe you’re familiar with my latest book (number 27), “The Right Way to Write, Publish and Sell Your Book,” or my organization, SPAWN (Small Publishers, Artists and Writers Network) http://www.spawn.org.

    Let me know if you’re interested and I can send you more information about me and my work. If this isn’t something that would work out for your group, maybe you know of a venue where I could arrange something while I’m there in your city.

    Thanks,
    Patricia Fry

    Good news! I will be presenting my hallmark workshop–2 Easy Steps to Publishing Success–at Borders on West End Ave. in Nashville, March 31, 2008 at 7:00.

    I’d love to meet serious Nashville writers and authors on this, my first visit to your city.

    I’ll also be signing copies of my book, “The Right Way to Write, Publish and Sell Your Book.”
