Go from idea creation (on Friday night) all the way to your published short story on Amazon by Sunday! Start making money from your creative ideas.

Brought to you by Plot Duckies.

The basics:

Friday night 6pm – 9pm

Bring 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.

Saturday – 8am – 8pm

We’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.

In the evening, your stories will be sent to our professional editors. They will edit the first three or 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.

Sunday – start at 11am – 5pm

We’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.

Then, we’ll celebrate with cake!

Limited spaces:

I’m limiting this event to only 25 attendees, so you probably want to buy your ticket now, and before the super early bird prices go up.

Reviews:

“I enjoyed to challenge of creating with a deadline in mind and I deeply appreciated the generous and supportive environment created by the instructor and participants alike.” -Elisabeth Loya

“I participated in Oct 2018 short story-a-thon! It was an awesome supportive experience that got me through the story and the publishing process in a weekend!! I will be doing this again. Thank you!!” -Winter Flack

“I had a terrific time at this workshop. We began Friday with a brief lesson on creative writing, then a walking tour of downtown Albuquerque where we sought inspiration for our writing. Saturday was devoted to creating pieces with the assistance of professional editors. Today was about publishing our stories on Kindle Direct, complete with story cover. It was a marathon session, inspiration to publishing in three days. It certainly spurred me to complete my tales and taught me it is possible to get them out there for others to enjoy.” – Chris Allen

Latest Review:

Dawn · August, 2019

Sonja provided a unique experience and lense through which to see the city of Albuquerque. Her approach provided insight and inspired and encouraged creativity. She offers a great way to explore a new place and ones own creativity at the same time. Sonja’s talent and passion for writing and desire to share it with others created an easy, natural connection. I highly recommend this experience to anyone who even remotely thinks about writing of any kind. ❤

You’ll learn from the direct review as well as information and reviews of the other participants.

You’ll walk away with step-by-step details on:

Making your website easier for users
How to use your social media posts more effectively
How to grow your audience
What to post when on what social media channels
Dos and Don’ts
What the right platforms are for your business
Getting email marketing right

Event is being held in FatPipe ABQ – a coworking space in the historic library of the old Albuquerque High School.

Your Facilitator:

I’m a social media influencer, a professional instructor, and I teach at the University of New Mexico’s Continuing Education Department. I know how to focus content and I know how to help you grow your audience.

I’ve used my expertise on panels, and workshops to help participants get the most out of their marketing strategies.

Learn how to put your online presence to work for you without being a reptile:

Social media is about making a connection and being authentic to your brand. It’s a way that customers can engage with what you and your business is doing. It’s also not about being a predator or a reptile.

However, if you aren’t keeping up with your posts and connecting with your customers, you may be doing more harm than good. Don’t let your company develop a bad reputation.

Register today and I’ll see you on July 31.

What people say about my training:

“Marketing is something I’ve learned a lot about over the years. In the process of learning about it, I’ve learned that it demands the kinds of skills that are really hard to come by if you haven’t internalized them. Sonja has the skills.

But more than that, she has patience, a dry sense of humor, and more generous bones than I’ve got. In each of our meetings thus far I’ve learned something that made me say “it’s that easy? Really?” I’ve learned social media skills that I use every day now—little tips and tricks, it’s true—that also came along with some magic: internalizing the Heart/Mind of this thing called Marketing. Thanks, Sonja!” – Andrew Fearnside

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!

What peeps have said about the last one?

“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.”

Full schedule is coming soon! It’s getting restructured due to the input from last time. Brought to you by Plot Duckies.

The basics:

Friday night 6pm – 9pm

Use the Awesomeness of Scrivener
2019-01-13 03:00 - 06:00 | Fatpipe ABQ, 200 Broadway Blvd Ne, Albuquerque, 87102, United States
Scrivener is an amazing tool for writers! I want to help you get to know Scrivener better so you can write without having to worry about how a program works.

You’ll learn:

Navigation
Starting a new project
Best Practices
Differences between Mac and PC versions
How to use the fun tools
Keeping track of characters and research
Compiling to use as an ebook
Using the pc or Mac version and the app (for iPhone)
And more!

Why is this 3-hour class in a top-notch space and with an experienced instructor so inexpensive? It’s because Scrivener is sponsoring! This means you’ll get some great handouts and there’s even a discount code available for the desktop version to anyone who signs up.

However, if you have a NaNoWriMo discount for finishing your 50,000 words in November – you’ll want to use that code instead.

Tip: If you haven’t downloaded Scrivener, download it today and use the free option for 30 days. Scrivener is available for Mac and PC.

Your Facilitator:

Sonja Dewing is a freelance writer and published author. She loves using Scrivener and finds that it’s the best product for writers. She’s also a University of New Mexico Continuing Education instructor and a certified professional instructor.

Scrivener reviews:

PC Mag: Scrivener is one of the best pieces of software for writers because it was built with their needs in mind.

Full Novel review group starts at noon – This group is specifically for those interested in reviewing and being reviewed for a whole novel.

If you’re interested in short story review or just a few chapters at a time, that group meets at 2pm on the same day.

We’ll add new peeps to our group, and schedule out reviews for the year!

Mark Harris runs this stupendous, whole novel review group

I’m proud to say that I had the first approved Airbnb Experience in Albuquerque, New Mexico and I have several 5 star reviews!

Bring your notebook, pen, and good walking shoes! We’ll start out in FatPipe ABQ, a coworking space that was once a historic library for the old Albuquerque High School. We’ll cover ‘How to Craft a Short Story’, and how to find ideas for your story. Then, we’ll head into downtown Albuquerque for a walking tour of some of the most interesting places, find ideas for our stories, and explore.

FatPipe ABQ is a beautiful space for our workshop kickoff. It’s a historic building with a creative vibe. Depending on what’s happening downtown we’ll go to a few different places. Civic Plaza often has activity, the Hotel Andaluz is a gorgeous historic hotel, and there’s a collection of other great locations on downtown Central (coffee shops, breweries, murals, etc.)

Sign up through Airbnb.
