Mary Cronk Farrell | Writers Workshop

First Impressions Count! Free Writers Workshop sponsored by the Inland Northwest Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators From agents to editors to readers—your first impression is key. Whether you’re writing a novel, nonfiction, short story, graphic novel or picture book, your first few pages must introduce character and conflict, provide clarity and suspense, make a promise and hook your reader. Join us for this progress-focused interactive workshop. Bring the first 750-words of your manuscript or book proposal and we’ll scrutinize language and structure for these essential elements, tackle exercises to improve voice and tension, plus, clarify place, time and mood. ***Space is limited. If you plan to attend, please RSVP to bookpeople@moscow.com*** Following the workshop SCBWI Regional Advisor Mary Cronk Farrell will host an informal Q & A about all things Children/YA publishing. Mary is an award-winning author of both fiction and nonfiction for young people. Learn more at: InlandNW.SCBWI.org and MaryCronkFarrell.com
