From Idea to Impact: The Fiction Writer's Toolkit
with Ace Baker

Join Ace Baker in this interactive workshop to find ways of bringing more impact to your fiction. From idea generation through ways to flesh out story ideas and integrate techniques that get attention, this workshop will provide you with a Bowen Island path to publication. There will be plenty of opportunities to test out techniques you may never have heard of before, and Bowen Island is the perfect setting for that! Using pen on paper or fingers on the keyboard, enjoy the opportunity to test out these techniques with your new or existing writing and share your experiments with others if you so choose. Learn about LLS, ++-, integrating sound and poetry into your prose, and much, much more to catch the eyes of contest judges, editors, agents, and publishers.
