May 17th - Laurie Schnebly Campbell - Q is for Query AND Mix and Match Motivation
Q Is For Query, A Is For Aaaack!
No writer can get far without the most fundamental tool of selling their work: an effective query letter. Yet it’s frequently a source of dread for writers who create lyrical fiction, yet panic at the idea of creating a sales pitch. Laurie Schnebly Campbell brings 25 years of advertising experience to identifying what makes people want a product — any product — and how to convince them YOURS is the one they want.
Mix & Match Motivation
The heart of GMC is motivation, and all too often it’s underrated. The deeper you go for a character’s motivation, the more interesting the character becomes. So what’ll make your characters do plausible, interesting things that keep the story moving? That’s what this class is about — developing a hero & heroine who’ll create a plot from WHATEVER happens, because their motivation is built in right from the start.
