ROBYN CONLEY GIVES Elements of Writing Workshops:

“Making a Good Story Great!” -- shows writers how to heighten the necessary basics of a story to make the characters, style, and focus of their work shine and sell!

"Self-Editing Without Self-Destructing" -- a proven checklist of items to look for in any mss that have helped my clients become published.

"Synopsis Secrets" -- tips for beefing up the synopsis without losing the marrow of a manuscript. Writers crave insight into writing a saleable synopsis. My clients have sold books on the synopses I've helped them revise.

"Writing for the Juvenile Market" -- an insider's look from someone who's had success in that area, with five books sold to major juvenile publishers, including the only authorized biography of John Grisham.

"What the Heck is POV?" -- an easy to comprehend overview along with interactive exercises to help invigorate the emotional camera of the characters.

"Curing Purple Prose" -- how to recognize when too much fluff makes a manuscript rough and unmarketable and tips on exorcising bloated passages.

“Staying out of the Dungeon” -- even when writers start progressing in their careers it’s hard to stay focused on what really matters and to justify the time required to keep their writing a top priority.

“Non-fiction Book Proposals” -- detailed how-to workshop for putting together a book proposal that will warrant a second look from editors and agents.

“Recycle and Resell” -- fun and informative interaction where I share some of the most common areas writers need to work on to sell their work--from narrowing a slant to broadening their perspective of networking.
