What's the best thing about Superstars Writing Seminars? See what the tribe is saying: “This was, I think, my third Superstars. The faculty is unmatched by any other conference I've been to. The atmosphere is supportive. There are many opportunities for gatherings outside the sessions, and there's no social stratification between the bignames and the brand-newbies. This conference and the people who helped me there were essential in getting my first large-publisher fiction contract after years of work on this WIP. My skills have been improved immeasurably. The gathering is worth the price.” ~ Matt Bille

Thinking in Scenes: Projecting Your Fiction on Your Reader’s Mental Movie Screen taught by Angie Hodapp Scenes are the building blocks of story, and understanding the different types of scenes, how they work, and when to use them is key to creating vivid fiction that pops straight off the page and into your reader's imagination. Come expand your scene-crafting know-how!
