Dianna Sinovic hosts a group of local authors to discuss the writing process from concept to page.
Regardless of whether we’re reading a story by a seasoned writer or a burgeoning new voice, a great tale keeps us riveted. The narrative and prose sweep us away from the first line to the last. It all appears effortless, but do you ever wonder about the work behind the words? How do writers mold ideas into characters and plots? How much preparation is involved? What happens if they get stuck and can’t move forward?
Dianna Sinovic is a certified book coach who helps writers, no matter their skill level, work toward achieving their goal of writing books worth reading. She serves writers focused on genre fiction (mystery, spec fiction, horror) or narrative memoirs, guiding them through their creative process on a path to either traditional or hybrid publishing.
