Martha Alderson, the Plot Whisperer, April 17, 2021

Writing Backward—Begin by Plotting from the End

Join us on Zoom for our monthly meeting! 

See below for Reservation & Payment details*

Martha Alderson will present “Writing Backward—Begin by Plotting from the End” at the Tri-Valley Writers April meeting. Most writers spend far more time writing and rewriting the beginning of their stories. By the time you’ve reached the end, you’re overjoyed and ready to get on with the next step toward publication. While beginnings hook agents, publishers, and your readers, endings create fans and thus deserve equal or more time spent writing and rewriting. Martha has found that writers benefit from a backward approach, and she’ll present two techniques to help writers do just that.

Join us on Saturday, April 17, 2021 at 2:00 p.m. PDT via Zoom. RSVP by Thursday, April 15, 2021 via an email to: president@trivalleywriters.org. (Without your email, we can’t send the Zoom invitation to you).
