3-DAY CONTINUING CLASSES

Robyn Dykstra

Speaking Continuing Class (Beg/Int)

DAY 1 Page to Stage: Why Every Writer Needs a Signature Talk: Writing a book is only the beginning. If you want to reach more readers, sell more copies, and create lasting impact—you need to speak. In this practical and inspiring session, best-selling author and international speaker Robyn Dykstra will show you how to craft a compelling signature talk that brings your message to life from the stage.

DAY 2: Give Your Message the Royal Treatment: A brilliant message buried in a flat delivery is a tragedy. You’ve spent hours on your content—your stories, your structure, your scripture. But if your voice drones, your hands flap, and your filler words multiply, audiences check out before you ever get to the good stuff. Robyn Dykstra breaks down specific, learnable techniques that differentiate speakers who are merely tolerated from speakers whom audiences remember, book again, and talk about long after they leave the stage.

DAY 3: Get Booked & Get Paid: You didn’t write that book to keep it on a shelf. If you want your message to reach more people, you need to speak. In this strategic and encouraging workshop, you’ll learn how to turn your book into bookings—and your message into a movement. Whether you’re launching your first book or looking to breathe new life into one that’s already out there, this training will show you how to get in front of audiences who need your story.

In this workshop, Jean covers seven differences to consider when writing for children and youth. Plus, learn practical tips of DOs and DON’Ts to help make your manuscripts publishable.

DAY 2: Rhythm and Rhyme in Picture Books: Great rhyme is important to poetry and verse. But rhyme’s evil twin sister, rhythm, is equally important to writing because it makes the prose sing. Learn how to bring music to your words. Even if you are “rhythmically challenged,” you will find this interactive workshop to be fun, informative, and helpful.

DAY 3: Book Categories for Kids: If you can’t decide what kind of children’s book you’re writing, learn the major differences between six commonly accepted categories of books for children and youth. Learn how word count, page length, reading level, vocabulary control, formatting, and topics relate to each category. Bring a few pages of your manuscript with you so Jean can help you figure out who the best audience is for your book.

Edie Melson 

Nonfiction Continuing Class (Beg/Int)

Create a Nonfiction Book Your Audience Will Read
DAY 1: Build a Nonfiction Book That Works: Is my idea worth pursuing? Great nonfiction begins with more than a good idea. It begins with the right idea. In this practical workshop, Edie will help you evaluate your concept to determine whether it has the depth, focus, and marketability needed for a successful book. You’ll learn how to identify your audience, clarify your message, avoid common pitfalls, and build a solid foundation before you invest months in writing.

DAY 2: Organize Your Book Before You Write: How do I build the book? A well-organized book is easier to write—and easier for readers to finish. Discover practical ways to structure your material, create a flexible outline that fits your personality, and gather the pieces you’ll need for both your manuscript and your proposal. You’ll also learn how to identify excerpts, articles, and other content you can use to build your platform while you’re still writing the book.

DAY 3: Write Nonfiction Readers Can’t Put Down: How do I make it compelling enough to sell? The best nonfiction doesn’t just inform—it captivates. Learn how to use proven fiction techniques to create engaging nonfiction that connects with readers and keeps them turning pages. Edie will show you how to weave stories naturally into your writing, use dialogue effectively, balance showing and telling, and create a reading experience that informs, inspires, and leaves a lasting impact.

DiAnn Mills 

Fiction Continuing Class  (Int)

Mastering the art of fiction involves understanding character, establishing a goal from the character’s wants and needs, and learning how and when to establish a deep point of view (POV). This intensive continuing class is for every writer who wants to strengthen their novel writing and move forward with their publishing dreams.

DAY 1: Mastering the Art of Characterization: The purpose of a story is for the reader to hook arms with a character and walk together into an adventure—to imagine, envision, care, and feel. The writer uses a character to persuade readers to experience life from a different point of view. Not only does the reader enter the character’s personality but also finds a bit of him/herself in the character’s pursuit to solve a problem or reach a goal. This workshop includes hands-on exercises. 

DAY 2 Mastering the Art of Plotting: Plotting is an art, a skillful expression of a writer’s creativity and imagination. It’s aesthetic, evocative, and invokes powerful emotions through the actions of three-dimensional characters who strive to achieve a goal. This workshop shows writers what needs to be included in plotting—and it doesn’t matter if the writer is an outliner, discovery writer, or something in between. 

DAY 3 Developing Deep POV: Deep POV allows the reader to step easily into the viewpoint character’s shoes and experience every action and reaction through the character’s senses. The reader wants to be that character. The writer uses every opportunity to give the reader an adventure by allowing them to experience the story.

How to Make Money Selling Books in 2027  (Int)

Most authors dream of writing full time, but few have that option. With bills to pay, mouths to feed, and lifestyles to maintain, most authors don’t have the luxury to leave their day jobs.

Heather Greer

Become the Podcast Guest the Hosts Ask Back  (Beg/Int/Adv)
Podcasts are a great tool for authors who want to build a personal connection with current readers and find new ones. Many times, authors want to take advantage of this medium, but they aren’t sure where to start. In their eagerness to secure guest interviews, critical mistakes sabotage their efforts. Without understanding how to present themselves, the episodes they participate in fall flat. Blending my experience as a podcast assistant producer and co-host with several additional podcasts, this class clarifies how you can become a podcast guest that hosts love.

Letting Canva Work for You (Beg)
Many authors struggle with content creation for marketing.

Genre Clarity for Nonfiction Authors: Align Your Message, Structure, and Reader Promise (Int)

Lora Zill

Writing the “Good” Poem  (Beg/Int/Adv)

Poetry is an art worthy of our dedication and hard work. Poetry writing teaches you to “write tight,” reach for just the right word to show your meaning and trust your reader to “get it.” But what makes a “good” poem? Why do some poems grip us with their intensity, and others turn us off with abstract ideas? We will learn to use poetic devices and universal ideas to craft our work and practice writing the “good poem.”

Discovering Your Message Through Writing Poetry    (2 Class Times) (Beg/Int/Adv)

We will work with everyday objects to discover the “universal idea” that makes our poems reach beyond our own experience to touch others. Poetry depends on suggestion and allusion, not sermonizing, to touch an audience. We will make connections, write with our senses, use sound and rhythm, and shape our writing for an audience.

How to Revive a Dead Book

You published a book. Maybe the launch went well, and you sold a lot of copies. Maybe you even won awards or hit a bestseller list.
