SUMMARY:Short Storyathon
DESCRIPTION:Go from idea creation (on Friday night) all the way to your published short story on Amazon by Sunday! Sound crazy? It kind of is\, but it works!\n\nWhat peeps have said about the last one?\n\n“I arrived on Saturday morning not knowing which idea I was going to choose to develop. The first sprint got me launched. I picked an idea from the walking tour on Friday evening and just went with it. Within five minutes I had an interesting beginning and that developed into a story remarkably quickly. Having the freedom to take breaks\, to work at my own pace\, to participate in the sprints or not\, in the company of other supportive writers\, made all the difference. I had never used a professional copy editor before. Grace was fantastic. She caught mistakes I didn’t see. Her feedback was essential to making me feel that I had a product worth publishing.”\n\nFull schedule is coming soon! It’s getting restructured due to the input from last time. Brought to you by Plot Duckies.\n\nThe basics:\n\nFriday night 6pm – 9pm\n\nBring your walking shoes! And be ready for any weather. We’ll start out at FatPipe ABQ\, a coworking space. We’ll discuss how to write a short story and how to find ideas for your story (if you don’t have one already). Then\, we’ll take a walking tour of downtown to collect those ideas.\n\nSaturday – 8am – 8pm\n\nWe’ll start with some writing sprints to get us going. Then take a quick break while we talk about book covers and consider hiring a book cover artist (they run $60 to $250). Then keep writing all morning. After lunch (lunch is on your own\, but we have plenty of places nearby) we’ll sit down and review each other’s work\, so we can get ideas on what needs to be improved. Then\, it’s back to writing.\n\nIn the evening\, your stories will be sent to our professional editors. They will edit the first four pages of stories you started that weekend (this is so everyone gets some professional editing on their story). Also\, this is paid as part of your purchase.\n\nSunday – start at 11am – 5pm\n\nWe’ll sleep in a little after all that work. Then it’s back to work. We’ll polish our stories in the morning. Then\, I’ll go over how to set up your story on Amazon.\n\nThen\, we’ll celebrate with cake!\n\nLimited spaces:\n\nI’m limiting this event to only 25 attendees\, so you probably want to buy your ticket now\, and before the early bird prices go up.\n\nPlot Box!\n\nTo celebrate the launch of our new audiobook and accompanying box (to help you write your novel)\, We’ll be giving a box and audiobook away to one lucky attendee ($60 value)!\n\nWin a story cover!\n\nEveryone who brings a cash and/or book donation for Albuquerque Reads will receive a chance to win a free story cover design ($60 value) by Leslie Reilly. Leslie Reilly is the designer behind all of Sonja Dewing’s book covers!\n\nThe Facilitators:\n\nSonja Dewing is a published author and award-winning creative writer. She has an adventure novel\, Toy of the Gods\, published by Creativia (available on Amazon)\, and a couple of self-published short stories on Amazon.\n\nElisabeth Loya is a published author and member of Querque Quills.\n\nReady? Get your tickets today. Full Wkd ticket is $99.
