Break Into Fiction™ Welcome and thanks for taking a moment to stop by! In the very recent past, award-winning authors Mary Buckham and Dianna Love (aka RITA award winner Dianna Love Snell) faced the same frustrations and challenges many new authors today encounter while trying to create a sellable manuscript. Getting published didn’t solve all that. Mary and Dianna now deal with continuing to produce selling manuscripts With this in mind, they joined forces and developed The BREAK INTO FICTIONTM Template Teaching Series to show new writers how to create a strong story and show published authors how to locate weak spots in theirs. This is not a formula. You can’t just fill in the blanks and end up with a book. The point of this program is to push your book to a new level, to expand your vision for the plot and to teach yourself how to critique your work with an unbiased eye. Watch our website for news on our soon-to-be released nonfiction book The Break Into Fiction Notebook: Simple Steps to Complex Novels. In the meantime, take advantage of the highly successful Plot YOUR Book in 2 Days Retreats currently being offered for a limited number of attendees. During these two intensive days of one-on-one instruction, you’ll learn how to ratchet up your story using a CHARACTER-DRIVEN PLOTTING PROGRAM. See what others are saying about these plotting retreats: “Your class is one of the best I’ve ever had. You have given me more to think about in my writing than anyone else~~including all the Writer’s Digest courses that cost at least a leg, if not an arm too. I feel I can APPLY what you are teaching me and it’s fun to watch movies or read books with the insights you give and say, ah ha! You have given me more insights into storytelling than I’ve ever had.” ~~ Cheryl “Thank you for explaining plotting in plain English! All of a sudden the light bulb went off and it was so bright I thought it might splinter all over the room. I truly enjoyed your presentation and your templates are invaluable.” ~~ Nancy Kay "I used to think I was good at plotting -- but this past (retreat) weekend made me realize I've been guilty of a more complicated version of the 'one damned thing after another' plot. I'm stunned at how well an entire story arc came together in just two days. I'm eager, now, to apply the templates to the books I've been revising for -- mm -- ever, I think. I suspect I'll discover I've been revising the wrong bits for the wrong reasons all this time." ~~ Marcella Burnard
