The From Writer to Author Joint Writing Conference takes place this September from the 12th to 15th.

I'll be presenting Stealing From the Greats on Friday the 13th (cue spooky music!).

This workshop will help attendees overcome the pressure of pure originality by showing that authors always build on the works of others and then providing concrete techniques for deconstructing and transforming inspirational materials into something uniquely personal and true.
