Workshop Descriptions

Writing Through Life’s Curveballs

This is a one hour workshop that draws from the authors own life when she was unexpectedly separated and had five books under contract for two different publishers.  Using skills that she developed to keep her “real” life and “writing” life on track, Katherine will share her insights that can be applied to any life changing situation.


Writing The Short Contemporary Novel

Drawn from her 16 year career writing for Harlequin Desire, Katherine offers tips for writers want to break into the short contemporary market.  Whether you are sitting down to write your first manuscript or your tenth, Katherine’s tips will get you on the right track.


Layering Your Novel with Sensuality

Sure, we’ve all heard that sex sells but there is more to sensuality than what happens between the sheets.  This workshop offers proven methods for ensuring that each scene in your novel engages all the sense and keeps readers coming back.


Mastering The Five Minute Pitch

You know your story inside and out but somehow when you start talking to an agent or editor it sounds like an epic saga that won’t end.  Katherine’s proven techniques will have you pitching your idea quickly, succinctly and have the agent/editor asking to see it.
