Nancy Martin's "Writing Is Murder" Workshop

Nancy Martin, author of the popular Blackbird Sisters Mysteries, is conducting a workshop for mystery writers.

During the workshop, Martin will share how to:
• Create dynamic, spirited characters
• Write dialogue that snaps and crackles your story forward
• Build a believable "real" world for your characters
• Tune-up your writer's voice
Plus you'll learn how to plot, subplot, and set the hooks that will have your readers dangling from the cliffhangers.

Martin's workshop is an interactive, lively work session designed for the serious mystery writer. You'll learn how to kill off a victim, plant a red herring, elude the cops and solve the mystery -- all in a way that will delight readers, agents, and publishers.

For those of you who have never heard Nancy Martin speak, I promise you you'll leave feeling inspired, motivated, and headed in a positive direction.

Here are the workshop details:

When: Sunday, April 22, 2007: 1-4 p.m.
Where: Treelady Studios, Turtle Creek, Pa. (visit www.treelady.com for directions)
Cost: $35 (refreshments included)
