Elizabeth is a Contributing Editor at Writer's Digest magazine and an award winning author of crime and mystery novels. Her eighth book is You've Got a Book In You: A Stress Free Guide to Writing the Book of Your Dreams (Writer's Digest Books).

The Workshop

Too many people believe writing is hard, especially if you want to write a book. It's a myth that must die! Elizabeth's experience—and message—is the opposite: Writing is easy and fun, once we get the hell out of our own way and let our natural talent and creativity take over.

Using dynamic writing tools and the insight of a lifetime of professional writing experience, Elizabeth will help you unleash the prizewinning writer within. 'Writing is Easy and Fun' is an experience-driven workshop focused on loosening up your creativity, to find the most direct route between your ideas and dynamite on the page. Learn how to achieve effortless authenticity, which agents and editors prize above all.

Elizabeth will show you how to cut through angst and overcomplication with a better way to brainstorm; spare yourself hassle with her Heart-Clutching Moment Plotting Method (works every time, plus it's fun); and improve your core skills by Writing With the Masters. Going forward, you'll be able to be your own coach!

No question will go unanswered. Elizabeth has been published in hardcover by a major New York house (MacMillan); is represented by a major literary agency (The Donald Maass Agency); coaches private writing clients; and writes full-time. This is a terrific chance to tap a professional's trove of expertise.

After the workshop, join Elizabeth for a reception and book signing. You've Got a Book in You will be available for purchase at the reception.
