Plot YOUR Book in 2 Days
Welcome to the first step of moving your writing to a new level. Whether you are on your first book or twenty-fifth, this program will show you why you’re having trouble finishing it or where the plot holes are in the one you’ve completed.
Award-winning authors Mary Buckham and Dianna Love are national speakers who teamed up to create the highly successful Break Into FictionTM Template Teaching Series, which will soon be out in a book. While developing this, they created a powerful CHARACTER-DRIVEN plotting program. These relatively new authors know the frustration of those trying to write a sellable manuscript and the equally difficult task of continuing to do so in this competitive market.
See what attendees are saying about what they gained from our Plot YOUR Book in 2 Days Retreats:
The June 19 - 21, 2008 retreat in Richmond, Virginia includes the following:
Mary and Dianna are only offering 6 plotting retreats in 2008 on a first come first served basis. The limited seating for these retreats allows one-on-one attention for YOUR story. You will start plotting YOUR book in the first hour and continue to do so for two days.
What you receive for attending a Power Plotting Weekend:
- A binder with the blank templates plus four sets of templates filled out using movie examples (115 pages). Students are emailed in advance to watch Casablanca (classic drama with romantic elements), Finding Nemo (children’s story), Bourne Identity (mainstream suspense) and Pretty Woman (romance) so they can follow the instruction and interact with the class on how all the story elements come together to build a powerful character-driven plot.
- Detailed instruction and one-on-one attention during breaks
- Access to two award-winning authors throughout the weekend for a continual Q&A
- 5 Bonus Templates on significant story elements
