Fall classes on Bainbridge


The writing organization Field's End, on Bainbridge Island, is offering two classes this coming month. For complete information and details, please click here.




Writing Fantasy: The Rules of Magic

Instructor: Janet Lee Carey

Description:
It's commonly thought that fantasy fiction is easy to write because there are no rules. Just the opposite is true. Fantasy writers understand that the vast freedoms of the genre necessitate a strict set of rules. Break the rules and the magic disappears. How can we create within this paradox? Whether you're already writing fantasy or interested in trying the genre, come join us for this interactive workshop with World Building, Plot and Character Relationship, Mythical Story Sources, and more. In class we will play with writing games that explore new worlds, enrich your work, and restore your story passion.
Maximum class size: 20
Number of sessions: 1
Date: Sunday, September 16, 2012
Time: 10:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. (with one-hour lunch)
Tuition: $80

Location:
Library Meeting Room
Bainbridge Public Library
1270 Madison Avenue N.
Bainbridge Island, WA  98110

Deep Revision

Instructor: Waverly Fitzgerald

Description:
For writers who have already produced a rough draft, this class offers the opportunity to revise and polish an essay, short story, or book manuscript. We’ll begin with an overview, examining themes and structure. Then we’ll tighten our focus to look at the dynamics of each scene or chapter, the shape of each paragraph, and the efficacy of each sentence. We’ll discuss publication strategies so writers are ready for the next step. The goal is to have a piece ready to submit or (for longer works) a detailed plan for completion.
Maximum class size: 15
Number of sessions: 6
Dates: Mondays, September 17 & 24; October 1, 8, 15, & 22, 2012
Time: 6:30 – 8:30 p.m.

Tuition: $240

John Nez unveils new e-book and app


Here's what local illustrator John Nez writes about his newest project, an interactive e-book called Mousey the Explorer. Working with this new technology sounds both challenging, fun, and ultimately rewarding. Congratulations on being the John-of-all-trades!






In John's words:


My first interactive book, Mousey the Explorer, has been published in the InteractiveTouchBooks.com bookstore. Books may come and go, but this is my first e-book app with sounds, lights and action! Click here.

It's my toe in the water for app-making. This fun e-book app is filled with interactive sounds, animations, puzzles, coloring and musical activities.

I'm the actor, writer, producer and director. I do the set-design, lighting, costumes, makeup, stunts, choreography and special effects. I'm also the cameraman, technical wizard, animator and I make the coffee.

Oh, and I'm the publisher too.

I made up this little app-trailer for YouTube.

Fall Retreat Registration Deadline 8/31! Our Fearless Leaders: Anne Ursu and Jordan Brown

Don't let the August 31 deadline to register for the fall retreat pass you by. There is only one week left, so do it ASAP! This year's November 2-4 retreat at the gorgeous Port Ludlow facility will feature workshops and manuscript critiques by the fantastic Anne Ursu, author of Breadcrumbs, and her superstar editor, Jordan Brown.

They recently took time to answer a few questions:

Anne's on Twitter! http://twitter.com/anneursu
Brenda: Anne, when Jordan acquired Breadcrumbs, how much did your agent have you revise and how much further did Jordan take the manuscript?

Anne: I had worked with Jordan at Atheneum and when he went to HarperCollins I knew wanted to work with him again. So when I had 50 pages of a draft, I gave it to my wonderful agent, Tina Wexler, and we sent them a proposal with 50 pages of the first draft. So they both saw the entire first draft at the same time. Tina's a wonderful reader and I feel very lucky to have her eye on things.

Brenda: What was the hardest part of working with an editor and how much did it help your progress as a writer?

Anne: The most difficult thing about working with an editor is they can be astute and exacting readers. The best ones, like Jordan, are able to see what the book wants to be and they will push you beyond what you thought were your capabilities to get there. This process is occasionally annoying. When I got my first editorial letter on Breadcrumbs, I posted on Facebook, "There are advantages and disadvantages to having a genius as an editor."

Brenda: Which do you love more, the first draft or the revising, and why?

Anne: I love whichever one I'm not doing currently. I think a first draft is telling yourself a story—a process that can be very fun or very agonizing, and a revision is about turning that story into a living breathing book. And that, too, can be fun or agonizing. When everything clicks and you realize that all the reconstructing your doing is making the book better, that's very exciting. But for me there's usually a two-week complaining period before I can even hope to get to this place.

Brenda: Favorite snacks or rituals for writing?

Anne: I tend to eat things that get my keyboard sticky and/or gooey. Popcorn, grapes, apples, that kind of thing. In the past couple of weeks I've realized I tilt my neck a certain way when I'm thinking. I have learned this by how uncomfortable my neck is.

Brenda: Jordan, which personage do you consider most comparable to your role in the production of a book: Gunther Gebel-Williams, George Balanchine, or Merlin?

Jordan is also on Twitter! 
Jordan: I have to say I’m more Gebel-Williams: the authors do all the actual work, and I just run around in funny clothing.

Brenda: When you acquire a book, how do you slice the pie between: good story with legs, marketability, and your own booklust?

 Jordan: What decides if I want to acquire a book is a combination of “good story” and “booklust.” What decides if I will acquire it is marketability. It’s not getting any further than my initial read if I don’t love the book to my bones, but it’s not getting any further than the acquisitions meeting if it isn’t marketable. And for the small number of titles that I acquire in any given year, honestly, the two are usually going hand-in-hand: the things that give me a feeling of booklust—the manuscript’s voice and characters, its perspective, the way it’s working with what has come before in children’s lit, as well as the things that make it different from everything else out there—are also the things that I think give it wide appeal.

Brenda: When working on a manuscript, how do you balance your vision for the story with the author's vision?
Other books Anne and Jordan have worked on together
Jordan: To be honest, I’m not taking on a manuscript unless I feel that, on a foundational level, my vision and the author’s vision are the same.  After all, an editor’s job is not to make a book better – it’s to figure out what’s in the author’s head and help them get that on the page in the best possible form. We might disagree sometimes on the details, or how to solve a particular inconsistency, but my first conversation with an author, which usually happens before I acquire a book, is mostly about the things I love about the book, what I think are the most vital parts of it, and those are the things we agree on. My editorial notes, then, are all about making the book the best expression of that vision, making sure it’s all consistent with that vision. 

Brenda: What are the best/worst parts of your job?

Jordan: The best part is definitely reading a revision of a book I’m editing – the excitement that comes with opening up the manuscript after the author has had a chance to absorb all of our conversations and getting to see what has happened on the page. The worst part is probably trying to find a decent lunch spot in Midtown Manhattan.

Brenda: Who's the most neurotic: writers, agents, or editors?

Jordan: Yes.

Thank you, Anne and Jordan! We can't wait to see you at the retreat.

Suzanne Selfors releases first fairy tale


For her fourth teen novel, author Suzanne Selfors has spun a tale called The Sweetest Spell (Walker/Bloomsbury). It tells the story of Emmeline Thistle, an unwanted peasant girl who discovers she has the magical ability to churn cream into chocolate. Which sounds like a neat trick, but there's a catch: In her kingdom, chocolate only exists as a legend.





Sounds delicious, doesn't it?






Suzanne reads and signs her new book at Liberty Bay Books in Poulsbo on Sunday, September 9 at 3pm. For more book events and other details about Suzanne's work, check out her website.

Here's to lucky number four!








Elizabeth Blake's new book


Congratulations to Elizabeth Blake, whose book, GreenBean: True Blue Family (Nisse Press LLC), was released in July.







The story was both written and illustrated by Elizabeth, and promises to delight early readers between the ages of 4-8.













LA Conference illustration award winner

A huge high-five and congratulations to Nancy Armo, who walked away from the LA SCBWI Summer Conference earlier this month with an Honor Award in the portfolio review competition.

Also, click here for her links to the SCBWI conference blog, which tells all about it!





Fantastic job, Nancy! We look forward to seeing more of your world out in the world!

Does the thought of sending out your manuscript give you sweaty palms?  Lois Brandt has a class for you:  

Marketing for Introverts: Short Stories and Novels  
 
If you’ve written a great story but are uncomfortable putting on a salesman’s hat, this class is for you. During this three hour session we will develop a plan to sell your novel or short story to an agent, publishing house, or magazine. Although we will touch on researching markets and packaging the product (yes, your novel or short story is a product), the focus of this class is to develop a sales strategy to get your writing into the hands of consumers. We will learn to use writing conferences and social media in ways that are comfortable for the writer and build a platform for his or her works. Fee: $59.00
 
Tuesday, August 21st
6:00 PM - 9:00 PM  
Bellevue College North Campus

Apply now for the Weekend on the Water Fall Retreat!

You, your manuscript, professional feedback, fresh takes on revision, yummy food, writer friends, time to write, a serene location... Can you picture it? Yes!




Doesn't it sound amazing? You deserve it, and it's just the kind of thing that can get your manuscript in shape.  Commit to your craft. Put yourself where you can learn and grow as a writer and recharge your sweet writer soul. We're bringing back one of our favorite editors and an award-winning author who just happens to teach in the Hamline University Master of Fine Arts in Writing for Children and Young Adults program as well. 


You won't want to miss SCBWI Western Washington’s sixth annual fall retreat, Weekend on the Water, taking place November 2–4, 2012. Every year it gets better and better, and this year is no different. We’ve made our own revisions to this year’s retreat, creating new paths for an even better experience. We have likable characters, a new setting, and a refreshing change of pace!

Characters: This year we welcome talented editor/author duo Jordan Brown, senior editor at Walden Pond Press and Balzer + Bray Books at HarperCollins, and award-winning author Anne Ursu. And, for the first time, our two retreat leaders are working together to create an amazing experience for you.

Setting: This year’s retreat will be held at an exciting new venue, the lovely Inn at Port Ludlow, a premier Northwest destination. Not only that, but we have bought out the entire Inn, and we will fill the beds to capacity. The Inn will provide a more intimate retreat feel that will give you the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful surroundings and wonderful spots to find your muse. It will also feed your spirit, as well as your belly. The resort’s award-winning chef will be planning a menu, including an additional meal (lunch on Sunday), designed around the available fresh ingredients from the local farms.

Pacing: This year’s retreat will allow you to customize your experience a bit, with opportunities available for you to participate in, or not. It's your choice! You may choose to receive feedback on the first 500 words of your manuscript from both Jordan and Anne, all done prior to the retreat. This is an exciting change which will leave additional workshop time during the retreat for more from Jordan and Anne, including a chance for them to use examples from attendee work during a workshop. Not only that, but it allows us to give the often requested option of more writing time. Another opportunity is participate in peer group critique, a highlight for many during our past two retreats (and back by popular demand). If you wish, we will match you with approximately three other writers in your same genre. Group members will share 25 pages of their work-in-progress prior to the retreat and then have a chance to meet and share thoughts.

This intimate, craft-focused retreat will give you the opportunity to focus on your work-in-progress with the guidance and expert insight of our two retreat leaders, as well as to connect with a network of talented local authors, which will include exchanging manuscript pages with several peers.

Weekend on the Water also includes: 

    •    Two nights’ lodging in a luxurious room (shared with one roommate or as a single) at the Inn at Port Ludlow, one of the premier waterfront resort destinations in the Northwest.
    •    Six catered meals (one extra from years past).
    •    Free time for writing, walks, kayaking, resting, and networking.

Help the Fat Kid Rule the World!


There will be a screening of Fat Kid Rules the World (filmed in Seattle and based on the amazing Printz Honor winning YA novel by K.L. Going) on August 28th at SIFF Cinema Uptown...

BUT, only if they can sell more tickets to the screening. They currently need 11 more to make it happen. So grab a fellow YA lover and make a night of it!

Details and tickets can be found here






See the trailer:

Laurie Halse Anderson's fifteen minutes

If you're not already a subscriber to Laurie Halse Anderson's blog, Madwoman in the Forest, get thee to a computer!


The author of such unforgettable YA novels as Speak, Wintergirls, and Chains is a personable, sympathetic, and indispensable resource for all your writing phobias, goals, and accomplishments. (For those who got to hear her in person at last summer's SCBWI Los Angeles conference, I am several shades of green with envy.) Currently she is inspiring people to WFMAD, or, acronym-free, to Write Fifteen Minutes a Day.

Her most recent post felt like a gift that dropped out of the sky, and I wanted to pass it along. It has to do with how one forges ahead in their daily writing process. Do you just keep plugging away, or do you revise what you've already written and then keep going? How does she do it?

Anyway, just a little push toward excellence coming your way post-conference. Here's hoping all your writing and revising this week is fruitful and multiplies.

Bloggers, beware


Thanks to Joni Sensel for alerting all of us bloggers to the potentially hazardous consequences of our footloose and fancy-free work: If we're not careful, we can find ourselves on the wrong end of a lawsuit.

Believe me, that's nothing to blog about!


Here's a comprehensive scenario recounted by a devoted blogger (and for those of you who live and die by Pinterest), and we should keep it in the backs of our minds as we continue our voyage deep into the World Wide Web.



You've been warned.
