To my writer friends, if you've been considering attending a conference to help you improve your skills, but have been put off by the cost, consider ScrivCon. It's less than $100 and is totally online, so you don't have travel costs.

My three previous novels were published by Elk Lake Publishing, Inc., owned by Deb Haggerty.
I wanted to see if I could do everything myself this time around and maintain control of things like the book cover, the pricing, when to run a sale, etc.
I asked Deb if she would write an endorsement for me. And because she's an awesome human being, she did, along with some very encouraging words in the email when she sent it to me.
I love this story. I think you will too. You can place a pre-order today for an e-book, or wait until August 26 to buy a paperback. I hope you will. Derek and Andi have a great story to tell.

Join us this Saturday, August 8, at 10:30a (room open at 10 for fellowship) to hear Betsy St. Amant discuss, "The Art of Subtext: Saying a Lot Without Saying Much At All."

This workshop provides attendees an in-depth look at the art of adding subtext into their stories. The workshop includes multiple examples from published novels and popular TV shows as well as providing exercises for authors to create their own subtext on the spot.
The workshop covers points such as how subtext must be subtle, used sparingly, and if done correctly, how subtext can be a golden ticket for a reader to keep turning pages.

Registration at TicketLeap is required to receive the online invitation. Ticket information in comments.

Betsy St. Amant Haddox is the author of almost thirty romance novels and novellas, including: Holly and Nick HATE Christmas, Where I Found You, and No Place Like Home.

When she’s not suffering through a CrossFit workout or baby talking her dog, she can usually be found in the vicinity of an iced coffee.

"Rules are meant to maintain order, but empathy is meant to maintain humanity." I think we can all use a little empathy right now.
