Join us Saturday, July 9 from 10:30 am-12:30 pm, as we welcome
author and speaker, J.A. Marx, with her hands-on workshop “Applying the Moral
Premise.” As this is a 90-minute, hands-on workshop, the meeting will start at
10:30 am with her presentation from 11:00 am-12:30 pm.
According to J.A. all authors want to hear “I stayed up all night
because I couldn’t put your book down!” But how do we draw readers in and make
them stay? “By cementing your story together with a moral premise.
J.A.’s 90-minute, hands-on workshop is based on “The Moral
Premise,” by Stanley Williams. In her workshop, J.A. will help you add
emotional depth to your characters in a way that will connect with your readers
on a heart level. Come prepared to practice what is presented, share ideas with
fellow writers, and take home solid concepts that could thrust your writing to
the next level. Laptop, tablet or other note taking devices highly encouraged
for brainstorming and creating.
Cost for this event is $20 per guest. J.A. is gifting a portion of
the event to her fellow ACFW DFW members. Cost of the
event for current members is $9 (plus the regular $2 monthly fee if not paid in
advance). Event sign-up is encouraged at DFWReadyWriters.Events@gmail.com
