July 13: Chesapeake Writing Workshop, Arlington, VA

I’m pleased to be one of the presenters for this year’s Chesapeake Writing Workshop—an all-day program taking place Saturday, July 13, at Crystal Gateway Marriott in Arlington, VA. With a focus on “How To Get Published,” the event features sessions on both the craft and the business of writing, one-on-one critique sessions, opportunities to meet with agents and editors, and more.

I’ll be meeting one-on-one for up to five critique sessions (sign-up early!) and then leading a full session on “killer openings and spine-tingling suspense.” Here’s the program description:

2019 Edgar Award winner Art Taylor offers both genre writers (mystery/thriller/crime) and literary writers tips and tactics for heightening tension, escalating conflict, tossing in the unexpected left turn, and generally keeping readers turning page after page.

The event features a great line-up of authors and presenters and an equally fine group of editors and agents.

Register here—hope to see you in mid-July!
