brought a sparkle to my personal essays. I wish it

The Writer’s
Digest Novel Writing Conference is returning to Pasadena,
Calif., with a transformative lineup of sessions and
speakers designed exclusively for the needs and wants of
novelists—whether you’re working on your first or have
already published a few.
Registration
is live, and you’ll lock in
your best rate when you register by
September 10.
WHAT
IT IS:
If
you’d like to learn how to write a tightly crafted novel
that agents, editors, and readers are all looking for, WD’s Novel
Writing Conference is the event you’ve been
waiting for. Discover expert-led sessions from mentors who
understand the process of bringing a book to market,
because they’ve been there. And they’ll help you get there,
too.
You’ll
choose between topics dedicated to craft, character, genre, and beyond (i.e., everything that
happens after you finish writing—from revision to
promotion). Mix and match sessions to build your perfect
weekend!
WHO
IT'S FOR:
Whether
you’re an aspiring novelist seeking to publish
traditionally, or a self-published author seeking a wider
audience, you’ll find in-depth
sessions offering up information you need to know.
And unlike so many other writing conferences, this one is
focused solely on the novel.
WHY
YOU SHOULD GO:
We’ve secured a pair of New York Times bestsellers for the
first two keynotes: Alice Hoffman and Janet Fitch. The keynote sessions are
always must-attends—novelists who’ve “been there” and “done
that” sharing their experiences and inspirational stories.
More
sessions, more speakers and more fun are all in the works,
but right now is the best time to reserve your moment in
the California sun—best pricing
ends September 10.

WDC19 Pre-conference
Workshop w/ Tobias Buckell
|
|
|
Great stories stick with us because of
compelling characters who make agonizing decisions. Readers remember
characters who they love, or love to hate. And when these characters
clash—that is the heart of conflict around which great stories revolve.
Strong characters and distinct settings resonate in a reader’s mind long
after the book is put down, yet they don’t spring up out of nowhere. They are
influenced by the world and societies around them, and their decisions and
actions have a clear impact.
In this full-day intensive workshop at Writer’s Digest Annual Conference, Tobias
Buckell—author of the New York Times bestseller Halo: The Cole
Protocol, Arctic Rising, and ten other novels—will teach you how
to develop characters who must make choices that influence their world, and
worlds that influence their choices.
Both new writers who have written a few stories and more experienced
novelists working through revisions will discover useful tools to create
characters and settings that have a lasting impact on readers, and learn how
to take their fiction to the next level.
This exclusive pre-conference workshop kicks off the 2019 Writer’s Digest
Annual Conference weekend on Thursday, August 22nd. Seats are limited, so register today!

I started it at the
economic downturn because so many libraries were suffering, staff were
getting fired. I go to ALNA quite a bit and I noticed that the people I used
to see at these events were no longer attending because they couldn’t afford
to, or they’d been fired, or they’d been forced into retirement, or their
system didn’t have the money to send them. These conferences also are very,
very good for librarians because they learn about the industry, make contacts,
there’s important business that goes on. So I started looking into it and I
realized that a lot of librarians were losing jobs.
In my local system, for instance, they cut library hours, and they usually
cut them at the neediest libraries. Right at the time when people couldn’t
afford to buy books and they were cutting internet in their houses because it
was too expensive, libraries were closing or shutting early so kids had
nowhere to go. A lot of kids in rural areas, their only access to the internet
is at the library. A lot of people who want to apply for jobs, you have to do
it online; if they don’t have any internet at home, there’s no way for them
to do it other than the library. It’s a really important institution for
people to have. I thought, “Well, let me start this charity and see what
authors can do.” I got a lot of authors to do fundraisers. We gave block
grants. I donated the proceeds from a short story to the charity. We’ve given
around $300,000.
It’s great that more authors are doing this because most of us got our start
in the library … From a financial standpoint, it’s really cheap for a
community to keep a library open as opposed to spending money in the juvenile
justice system when kids get bored and do stupid things. The loss of income
from children not having access to reading is massive compared to the little
amount it costs to keep the library open.

Learn how to make
your submission stand out
|
|

Children's
books—young adult, middle grade, and picture books—have taken over the
publishing industry (in a good way). Readers of all ages are devouring the
books that used to mainly take up space in libraries, children's bedroom
bookshelves, or school classrooms. Now, children's books are celebrated for
their enchanting prose, their relatable characters, their beautiful
illustrations, and their fantastic stories that transcend age categories and
genres. The growth of the children's book sector has been unprecedented this

and selling books for children.

presentations: Publishing
Picture Books; Publishing
Middle Grade; Publishing
Young Adult; and Writing
Query Letters. Then, you’ll have the chance to submit your
query letter plus your picture book manuscript or a sample from your middle
grade/young adult manuscript’s first chapter for critique. Every critique
submission will receive personal feedback from Maria Vicente, Kurestin
Armada, or Eric Smith.
This program children’s book boot camp will cover the
following topics:
- What the difference is between the picture book,
middle grade, and young adult categories
- What the biggest genres are in picture books, middle
grade, and young adult—and how to decide where your manuscript fits in
- How to come up with a commercial idea that’s
character- and plot-driven
- How to create engaging characters that agents,
editors, and readers will love
- Where (and where not) to start your story
- How to inspire kids without writing heavy morals
- Why rhythm, not rhyming, is the key to success in
picture books
- How visual thinking will improve your picture book
manuscript
- What to highlight in your pitch to sell your book to
agents and publishers
- How to avoid the most common mistakes found in
submissions
- What you can learn from your favorite published
children’s books
