Just got word from the programming organizer that my killer workshop is a go for MountainCon this year. The bonus is that Brandon Sanderson will be teaching it with me. You do NOT want to miss this one.

WHAT: Writing Killer Stories: This is a hands-on workshop conducted by two professional
authors (Brandon Sanderson, John Brown).

When you finish, you will know:

• The 3 keys to writing killer fiction
• 4 parts of story & how they relate to the key
• The creation process
• 7 principles of creativity
• Critical guidelines on suspense, plotting, setting, and character building

WHEN: Saturday, September 20th,  7:30-10:00 PM, Panel Room 1

WHERE: Davis Convention Center, Layton, Utah
