Sue Brown Moore: Story Power Hour

Stuck on a story choice? Need a little help straightening out a plot snarl? Or just want to watch a developmental editor in action? Come to the Story Power Hour with Sue Brown-Moore. During this 45-minute working session, Sue will take turns consulting one-on-one with three authors to shape up their current work-in-progress or brainstorm a new story idea. Each 15-minute consultation will be visible to all attendees, so even if you don’t get a turn in the hot seat, you can still take away valuable insight to power up your own working draft. Hot seat participants will be chosen from a list of applications. Specific details on how to sign up for the opportunity will be available before the meeting (and hotsesat participants will know they've been selected ahead of time). During the final 15 minutes of the meeting, Sue will answer general editing and storycraft questions.

Known for being a tough editor with a soft touch, Sue Brown-Moore specializes in developmental editing for romantic fiction and champions progressive, inclusive literature. Sue helps writers rediscover their inner spark and push through vexing story problems using the character-first editing and storystorming techniques she teaches in her online university, Storysmith U. Sue has been featured in writing-focused events and publications, like Publisher’s Weekly and the Escape the Plot Forest Summit, and the stories she collaborates on as both a freelance and acquiring editor have been celebrated with nominations and wins for industry awards like the Vivian, the Golden Heart, and the Lambda.
