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\n\n \n\n\nSaturday – 8am – 8pm\n\n\n \n\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\n\n \n\n\nIn 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.\n\n\n \n\n\nSunday – start at 11am – 5pm\n\n\n \n\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\n\n \n\n\nThen\, we’ll celebrate with cake!\n\n\n \n\n\nLimited spaces:\n\n\n \n\n\nI’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.\n\n\n \n\n\nWin some Goodies!\n\n\n \n\n\nThe Plotfinder Package!\n\n\n \n\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\n\n \n\n\nWin a story cover!\n\n\n \n\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.

Buy your tickets and let’s get writing!\n\n\n \n\n\nReviews:\n\n\n \n\n\n\n“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\n\n\n \n\n\n\n“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\n\n\n \n\n\n\n“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
