agents."
Are you ready for an
agent? How do you know? How do you get one?
What are each of our
agents looking for? How to structure a
proposal.
"Using Fiction to Spread God's Word" – 21st century
parables
Are you one of those who don't read Christian fiction because it's
. . . well . . . fiction?
Jesus used fiction to make some of his most important points
because people could
easily relate to them, they're called parables. Terry talks about
using fiction in order to
spread God's word and about the difference between writing for the
Christian market
and writing in hopes of reaching an unbeliever.
"Too shy to pitch and promote?"
Believe it or not,
Terry is very shy and introverted, but has learned how to
overcome it and
present an exciting and fast-moving program. Lots of writers
are drawn to writing
because they have trouble expressing themselves verbally.
Many consciously or
unconsciously sabotage their own publishing efforts because
they fear they will have to do these things if
they are successful. Terry shows
how to develop a
public persona and hide behind it.
"So you've always wanted to
write?"
Any writer doing a
public event knows there will be at least one,
generally more, who
will come up and say they have always wanted to write
or are writing, a book. Terry talks about how
to get started, how to avoid writers
block or getting
stalled out, and how to develop a story on the classic story lines.
"Getting started writing fiction"
where do story ideas come from and writing using the
classic story structure.
Similar to above,
but geared for a group that is already committed to trying to write.
"When a little is a lot -
writing and selling short fiction."
Exploring the short fiction market,
what it is, how to write for and sell to it.
"Writing for the Christian
Market and getting it published"
What is the Christian fiction market
today and how did it develop? How does
somebody manage to
get published in that market?
