American Christian Fiction Writers Association

The Southeast Wisconsin chapter of ACFW would like to invite any would-be writers to a one-day seminar on April 25, 2015 at Falls Presbyterian Church - W156 N7356 Pilgrim Road in Menomonee Falls. We'd love for you to join us to learn about writing from Tim Shoemaker.

We have author Tim Shoemaker coming to speak to us on the following topics! Register now! 

Session 1
Show-Don't-Tell- Often fiction writers are telling a story when they should be showing it. I won't tell you how to fix this... I'll show you.
Point-of-View- This is an area of fiction that trips up a lot of writers.  We'll show you how to avoid the POV mistakes, and how to write in a deeper POV. I'll explain it in a way where you'll get it--and your writing will improve dramatically.

Session 2
19 Tips for Stronger Characters- Learn secrets to creating characters that your reader will love.  I'll share some things you probably won't read in writing textbooks--but they work!
Action and Fight Scenes- Action isn’t just about car chases. It’s found in dialogue, interior thought, and more. Learn tips for writing action that will keep your readers gripping your book . . . and holding their breath

Session 3
Dialogue- Talk may be cheap, but poor dialogue in your manuscript will cost you.  We’ll learn how to dump the dull stuff and sharpen your dialogue skills.

Session 4
Creating a Scene- A story is told through a series of scenes. I'll show secrets to writing more powerful scenes, and how to connect the scenes in ways that will strengthen your fiction... guaranteed.
