Fiction Factors – Bring it ALIVE with all FIVE: Stimulating all Five Senses in Your Fiction
Multiple-award-winning, best-selling fiction author Mara Purl walks you through her five-art seminar designed to have you put your reader IN the room with your characters. This webinar is filled with examples, both good and bad. And this is an active program, requiring your participation to complete exercises throughout the 90-minute session.
Your takeaways include:
1 – Most authors focus primarily on the visual—and it’s of primary importance. But have you done basic description? Or have you enriched your visual with metaphor? Have you anchored your visuals with time, date, place, and personal history?
2– Can your readers “hear” your book? Sound has multi-levels: immediate, ambient, and remembered. Are you using all three? Mara will show you how.
3 – One of the most powerful memory-triggers is the sense of smell. Are you using aroma to anchor your reader in the moment? How can you make your book more memorable?
4 – Find it almost impossible to describe how something tastes? Refocus on the experience of tasting something for the first time, then actively connect it. This takes some practice but it’s highly effective.
5 – Think your genre has no room for the “touchy-feely” stuff? Mara will show you how to make it work for you and further engage your readers.

What we’ll do in August is a great month. There’s the beauty of both the day and evening … and there is the “prep” planning that leads to the huge Fall book selling season. You will get a “what’s old and what’s new” strategy throughout the morning.
This Saturday is the perfect time to take just three hours for you to get your brainstorming and masterminding hat in the publishing ring and kick off the coming out of winter. Besides the answers to the “What I Need to Know Before I Go” that is posted on the Flip Chart, you will come away with:
* Transition from the CWO to the CMO.
* Re-launch a tired book and add sparkle to your push.
* How to use social media to master book marketing. * Learn about must-have adds for you and your book.
* Learn how to add “juice” to what you are currently doing.
* Learn new author tools to add to your success.
* Always … get any questions you have answered.
Springtime in the Rockies delivers a split weather personality–we could have a little snow; some rain; or sunshine as the day begins. Inside, there will be plenty of HOT NEW ideas that will flip what you think and turn your head and attitude about what works and doesn’t work in today’s publishing arena. All gatherings start with a flip chart and a question: what do you need? The morning is then off … who knows what paths it will take? Is there a book in the works? Are you stuck? Curious about the various publishing options? Ask your questions … AND participate.
The value of the group is to GIVE and SHARE ahas, insights, and techniques, not just TAKE. If you are a taker, Author YOU is not for you. The AuthorYOU participants are hungry for new information and delighted to share what works for them … and what doesn’t. The SALONS created will expand your projects and the breadth of your success. If you want to make your book happen … here’s the inner circle that has ideas and experience to kick start it, goose it and just get the launch started that The Book Shepherd Judith Briles leads each month. Your answers are in the room. AND … it’s MONEY FREE to attend … with two strings attached: Bring a healthy snack to share AND some new socks. Judith is a Sock Ambassador and part of a team that distributes to the Homeless and Kids in Need–, your ideas, questions, an open mind and meet other authors. No question goes unanswered! –come at 9, stay til noon– See you Saturday, August 10th. Hot Coffee and Teas are ready for you.
Warning: if you are a “no-show,” you get two passes; after two misses, future participation will be based on availability.
• What to bring Bring a snack to share and some NEW socks to give.
