Booksigning to benefit Pikes Peak Writers - Barnes & Noble in "Shoppes at the Meadows" near Park Meadows Mall, 8374 S. Willow St, Lone Tree CO.
Pikes Peak Writers is a national nonprofit that helps writers learn, connect and grow through workshops, resources, contests, scholarships, and one of the best writer's conferences in the country. Membership in PPW is now completely free, as are many of their programs. To help PPW continue in their support of writers, Barnes & Noble is hosting this benefit bookfair and signing. If you shop at B&N --in a store or online-- during the benefit period, a portion of what you spend goes to PPW. It costs you nothing extra, and you can even use your B&N member discount. I hope you'll join me at the signing, but if you can't make it I invite you to shop BN.com/bookfairs between November 12th and 17th, and reference bookfair number #10553048.
For more info about this bookfair and the list of 30+ authors who will be signing at five Colorado Barnes & Noble locations, please visit here

From Page to Publication - Learn about the many stages a manuscript goes through before it hits the shelves as a book. From revisions to copy edits, sales meetings to printing and distribution, young adult author, Terri Clark, will share her experience in bringing her book, Sleepless (HarperTeen), From Page to Publication. Examples of real documents will demonstrate each step and she'll happily answer questions to help you navigate the publishing process.
Tapping into your Inner Teen aka Writing for Young Adults - We're in a new golden age for young adult fiction. If you've wanted to tap into your inner teen and write a YA novel, this program is for you. Young adult author and teen librarian, Terri Clark, will define what makes a young adult novel, explain how teen fiction has changed over the years, help you discover your teen voice, introduce you to the market and highlight bestsellers and current trends.
Werewolves, Witches & Vamps, Oh My! - Paranormal fiction is hotter than ever and Terri Clark is going to tell you why. She’ll also define the difference between paranormals and urban fantasy and explain why readers are willing to suspend their disbelief, but only if you ground the roots of your story in reality. If you want to know how to make the impossible seem plausible this is the workshop for you.
Beyond Skin Deep: Creating 3 Dimensional Characters - Lack of emotion is one mistake newbie writers often make. This fun, interactive workshop for teen writers will help them gain a deeper understanding of their characters, which will enable them to better communicate their hero's emotions. Teens should attend with a main character in mind and Terri will help them flesh out the star of their story so they can better get into their character's head.
Terri's also happy to visit book clubs and creative writing groups!
