ROTOROOTER FOR THE SPECULATIVE FICTION WRITER

With Fran Friel


Author and Bram Stoker Award finalist, Fran Friel, says, “It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that zing.” Your science fiction, fantasy or horror manuscript finally gets to the editor’s desk, but what makes it shine from the murky depths of slushville? It’s that Zing, baby! It’s the thing that makes your writing uniquely compelling. So, how do you get your Zing to sing? RotoRooter for Speculative Fiction Writers offers practical information to help you discover or hone your zing. Learn to loosen the creativity sucking confines of the first draft internal editor. Find the vital feeling that translates into writing that is compelling for you and for your readers. This workshop will be experiential, so charge your laptop battery or bring a notebook and pen. We’ll be digging in! For extra credit, bring TWO different hats. Best hat wins a prize!
