“VOICE:  What Goes Into It & How to  Make It Work for Your Manuscript”

INSTRUCTOR:  Cheryl Klein

Description:

A novel’s voice is the emotional atmosphere that  carriers a reader through the story. In this session, Cheryl will discuss the  many elements that make up a narrative voice, including tense, rhythm, syntax, tone, and  personality.  We’ll learn the pros  and cons of different POV’s and tenses, and uncover common mistakes that make a  novel’s voice feel inauthentic.

Materials: Pen and Notepad

Attendees will be able to purchase Cheryl’s book titled, SECOND SITE: An Editor Talks On Writing, Revising and Publishing Books For Children And Young Adults and get it signed after the workshop.

Cheryl and Rebecca are staying over night and joining us for the Mentoring Workshop the following day.

Agent Stephen Frazer is also coming for dinner and giving a talk for the people who sign up to stay (not free) and will be a mentor on Sunday.

Adam Gustavson who is coming in on Saturday to do an oil painting Workshop for the Illustrators will be having dinner with us and staying overnight to work with Illustrator’s attending Illustrator Day on Sunday.

VERY IMPORTANT: You must e-mail to save space and then fill out the registration.  Space is limited, so we will be going on the registration forms that get mailed in to the Ringoes address.  We are not going to chase you around to find out  if you are showing up.  If we don’t have a registration from you, you may not be able to attend.  Please do not say you want to attend, knowing that you might not come.  That keeps someone else from coming.  Here is the link for the form:  http://www.newjerseyscbwi.com/forms/workshopregistration.pdf

Hope to see you there,
