Award-winning author and performing storyteller Marie Bilodeau is keen to share some of the secrets of her success. She would love to show you how to "amp" up both your career and your writing.
Workshop #1
10:00 a.m. to noon
Using Social Media to Promote Your Career
Marie Bilodeau is a storyteller and the author of seven published novels and many short stories. Taking a page from Charles Dickens’ playbook, her most recent book, Nigh, is being published serially in an electronic format and is available on Amazon.ca and Kobo.com.
Marie is a twice-nominated finalist for the Aurora Award and won the science fiction medal from the Foreword Book Awards.
In 2014, she left her “day job” and was able to concentrate on her writing full-time. She attributes part of her achievement not only to her writing, but also to the successful use of social media in her marketing campaigns.
Although published by traditional publishers in her field of science fiction and fantasy, in today’s economy, it is up to the author to assist in every way possible to promote and sell the books. The use of the current social media tools is essential to success.
Storyteller, writer, or arts marketer: This workshop is for you.
Come and learn some of the best tips and techniques from Marie. She looks forward to sharing them with you.
Workshop #2
1:00 p.m to 3:00 p.m.
How to “Up” the Tension in Your Story
Every writer knows that a good story needs to have a dilemma, a predicament, a goal, a crisis or conflict. But you can’t just go from the opening lines to the critical event.
You have to build toward it. The tension has to slowly increase and draw the reader in. The reader has to care.
Marie is an absolute master at building tension. Let her show you how she does it.
She is not only a great writer, but also an excellent oral storyteller, and she has brought these same skills to her storytelling performances.
Storyteller or writer, you will find this workshop helpful and valuable.
