She'll also talk about how to get your book published, how to work with publishers, and share some of her experiences. Feel free to bring along your own work-in-progress. Cost: $15 includes lunch. $25 includes lunch and a copy of Ashna Graves' book Death Pans Out.

Our first workshop of the year was a huge success. If you're still trying to decide whether to go to the other workshops read the testimonials from some of those who attended Part 1 - General Fiction.

"I attended the first workshop in the Writers workshop series for two main reasons. I have to confess, the primary one was to escape my two year old and husband for a few hours of 'adult time.' The second was with the hopes of gleaning a little useful information on writing and possibly helping me out as I pursue an elusive career as a genre novelist. Either way my hopes and expectations were far too low. The speaker, Ashna Graves, was beyond excellent. Her credentials, which I had no idea of before arriving, were impressive, but her materials, exercises and interaction were invaluable."

"The group of individuals attending was unbelievable talented and charismatic and, I believe, a good time was had by all. I will take this experience, and the copious notes that resulted, and turn it, without a doubt into more concise, saleable work. Personally, I will treasure the time spent, in intellectual, creative fellowship every time I pry my son from atop the furniture, or off the drapes. I wouldn't miss the next workshops for the world."

Thank You,
Keri Pauli

"I for one thoroughly enjoyed the Saturday workshop. Not only was it informative but it was great for motivation. I did not know Ashna or any one else in the class, but by the time I left I felt a connection to each and everyone that attended. Hooray to 'A Book For All Seasons' for allowing the young ones also. It was wonderful to see at least two young people attend the workshop, I am not to proud or old to say their writing was inspirational also!"

"I will fess up and say I am not a mystery writer so wasn't sure how much I would get out of the work shop. Needless to say I was very pleased and motivated when I left. Please continue the workshops."
