Greater Lehigh Valley Writers’ Group is offering “Story Shrink,” a one-day workshop for authors ready to develop three critical elements for marketing a book - synopsis, pitch and logline 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Oct. 14 via Zoom.
Kathryn Craft, developmental editor with WritingPartner.com, will lead the workshop.
The morning consists of a half-day intensive session during which attendees will learn how to write a synopsis, shrink it down to a pitch, and shrink the pitch down to a one-sentence logline that begs interest.
Attendees will have the opportunity to offer feedback on each other’s work.
The afternoon will be 15-minute, one-on-one sessions with Craft.
Each session is intended to help attendees apply the lessons from the morning to their individual project.
Registration is limited to only eight slots for the afternoon session.
There is a fee for the morning and afternoon sessions.
Attendees will receive the Zoom link upon registering for this unique individualized workshop.
One-on-one participants are asked to submit their synopsis and elevator pitch by Oct. 8.
As an added benefit, those who register for the afternoon workshop will be given the first choice of agent appointments at the 2024 Write Stuff Conference, scheduled for April 11-13, 2024.
