Getting Rid of the Parts Readers Skip (1 hour)
Dan’s all time favorite writing quote comes from the late NYT bestselling author, Elmore Leonard: “In your writing, try to leave out the parts readers skip.” Leonard was a master at self-editing, a critical skill for writers hoping to get published or grow an audience today. Dan decided early on to make this a priority in his books. No blah-blah-blah parts. He credits the cultivation of this skill for much of his writing success. Dan’s 23 novels have received over 12,000 Amazon Reviews (avg. 4.7 Stars) That’s an average of 550 reviews per novel (some have over 1,200).

Afternoon Workshop
How to Create a Successful Fiction Series (1.5 hours)
Without a doubt, readers prefer books that come in a series (vs a stand-alone). The reason is obvious: if they loved the story and the characters in your first book, they want to spend more time with them. Of Dan’s 23 published novels, 17 are part of a series (his 6 stand-alones were at the request of his publisher). In this session, Dan shares all the essentials he’s learned to write the kind of novel series that force readers to keep reading one book after the other (then move on to another series when they’re through).
