CELEBRITY SATURDAY: ANN
GARVIN
WAUKESHA – Plotting is afoot for AllWriters’ December
Celebrity Saturday! There are lots of ways to tell a story, but expert plotting
is the best way to keep your readers turning pages. AllWriters’ Workplace &
Workshop welcomes special guest lecturer ANN
GARVIN with her workshop, THE MOST COMPELLING WAY TO TELL A TALE: PLOT AND
COHESION.
In this workshop, you’ll
examine the numerous ways plotting is used to achieve cohesion. This approach
will not only help with structure but also with resisting the mid-draft slump,
and it can ultimately save time. Moving forward, we’ll discuss how plotting will
help you find the most compelling way to tell your story. Whether
you’re working on a novel, short story, essay, poem or memoir, each work must
tell a compelling story and maintain the energy of that story all the way
through to the end. This is a workshop for students with just a
germ of an idea or a whole complicated manuscript.
ANN
GARVIN is an Easterner who lives in the Midwest and a fiction writer who
makes a living as a scientist and educator in the Masters of Fine Arts position
at Southern New Hampshire University. While working as a nurse, she completed
her PhD in exercise psychology at UW–Madison, publishing extensively in the area
of exercise, mental health, and media and later became a prize-winning short
story writer. Her experience proved a perfect backdrop for her novels On
Maggie’s Watch and The Dog Year. She is a featured writer for Unreasonable.is, where she is devoted to
helping people find health and tell their stories, and fundraises for www.girleffect.org and animal
rescues.
Celebrity Saturdays are a great chance to broaden
your knowledge of what it takes to be successful and to learn from writers who
are already knee deep in an author’s life. Ann Garvin’s workshop will be held on
Saturday, December 5th, 2015. This event runs from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00
p.m. and costs $85, which includes a lunch catered by Waukesha’s own Café de
Art.
