The Writer's Way
Intro
The Workshop will take place June 6-7, 2009, featuring multiple tracks of presentations, panels, and master classes presented by more than a dozen published authors, as well as acquiring agents and editors, presenting numerous opportunities for aspiring writers of all kinds to learn the art and craft of writing and the business of publishing. There will also be opportunities for meals and one-on-one consultations with writers, agents, and editors, and specialty workshops on getting published, young adult books, journalism, magazine
writing, screenplays, and poetry.
Fiction
From the latest trends in fiction to the art and craft of the character-driven novel, our star-studded fiction track is sure to educate and entertain you. Led by two bestselling authors, Steve Berry and William Bernhardt, our faculty will offer their invaluable insights that made them successful—and could do the same for you.
Workshop Participants with Billie Letts
Creative Nonfiction
Whether you are writing a memoir, a history, a biography, or the latest blockbuster self-help book, these sessions will inspire as well as instruct.
Led by bestselling author Susan Piver and Pulitzer Prize-nominated Michael Wallis, every aspect of researching, organizing, writing, editing, and publishing your work will be addressed.
Clifton Taulbert speaks
Saturday Banquet and Sunday Lunch
The Saturday night banquet will feature keynote addresses from our special guests, New York Times-bestseller writers Steve Berry and Susan Piver. Sunday Lunch will give every participant the opportunity not only dine with the authors but to hear testimonials on how they became published authors. Steve Berry will talk about the 85 rejections that ultimately led him to the top of the bestselling charts as one of the top thriller writers in the world. Susan Piver will explain how a late-night conversation with an old boyfriend sparked the idea that put her on the New York Times list.

HAWK Writing Seminar
Following the Workshop, HAWK will offer a week-long intensive Seminar for those with works-in-progress who are ready to seriously hone their work on the beautiful TU campus. Led by Executive Director William Bernhardt (with an assist from other multi-published authors), the Writers Seminar is five intense, inspiring days learning the art and craft of writing. In these intimate, hands-on groups, the emphasis will be on how to shape and pitch a saleable manuscript or screenplay. You will write and revise, have your manuscript critiqued, revise some more, prepare query letters, and practice pitching, so that when the seminar is complete, every attendee has a first-rate query letter, synopsis, outline, and several chapters—the building blocks for selling and publishing your work. This is an unprecedented opportunity to transform your writing.
Seminar class
There will be two separate seminar groups—one for fiction and one for nonfiction. Each group will meet between four and five hours a day. These seminars will be strictly limited to ten people, so they will fill quickly.
