August 9th – Sandra K Moore
Whether you’re a plotter or a pantser, getting the characters from the first page to the thrilling end can be daunting. Sometimes writers lose their way: the story seems to fall apart, or things don’t seem quite right, or perhaps the writer even loses interest. Chances are that one or more essential, though not so obvious, story components have gone astray. Sandra K. Moore’s “Constructing a Manuscript” workshop can help beginning writers understand story structure, and aid advanced writers in taking their craft up a notch.
Drawing from her experience as a seasoned contest judge, a student in the University of Houston Graduate Creative Writing Program, and a published author, Sandra describes story symptoms, shows where they’re likely to arise in a manuscript, and provides suggestions for correcting the problems. Her March 2008 release, WITHOUT A TRACE, earned 4 1/2 stars from Romantic Times Book Review. In her “other life,” Sandra is a Product Manager for a Fortune 500 company.
