David Hazard is founder of ASCENT, an international coaching program for authors, with clients worldwide. He has been as an author, publishing consultant, and writing and creativity coach since 1979, developing bestselling lines of books for numerous publishers. He has written more than 30 books of his own, including several award-winning and internationally bestselling titles. His 1984 book, Blood Brothers, led to three Nobel Peace Prize nominations for its subject, Dr. Elias Chacour, and is now published in 29 languages.
David has consulted with publishers such as Doubleday, HarperCollins, Random House, Thomas Nelson and others.
In his wide-ranging career as a writing coach, David has mentored government officials, actors and celebrities, novelists, financial and economic experts, TV stars, children’s authors, international diplomats, news correspondents, psychologists and counselors, pop music stars, leaders in academia, motivational speakers, professional sports figures, spiritual teachers and theologians… and everyday men and women with poignant memoirs and exciting novels to publish.
If you want to know how to create a page-turning narrative, whether a true story or fiction, this workshop will show you how to do it. The techniques you'll learn will turn any story into a "must read".
In Part 1, you'll learn the important "understructures" of great story plotting - secrets that will make your story compelling. We'll cover plot structures, and the creation of dynamic scenes.
In Part 2, you'll learn how to develop and reveal memorable "characters" - whether true-life or fictional. Even the most "everyday" person has their motives and hidden side. You'll also learn all about "camera work" - how to make your writing vivid, visual, and evoke all the sense, to put your readers "right there" in the text.
If you want to write strong, memorable, saleable novels of memoirs, this is the workshop for you.
