SUMMARY:8 Book-Writing Tips from an Award-Winning Novelist
DESCRIPTION:The Writers Alliance of Gainesville welcomes author and speaker Richard Gartee\, who will share his top eight tips for book authors.\nRichard Gartee is the author of 32 published books—eight of them fiction.\n\nOn Sunday\, June 8\, from 2:30 to 4:00 p.m. at the Millhopper Library\, he will offer key tips for keeping readers entertained and engaged by sharing examples of these elements:\n\nShow\, Don’t Tell: Rather than telling readers how characters feel\, he will show how to reveal their emotions through actions and dialogue.\nStrong Voice and Tone: He will demonstrate how establishing a unique voice can draw readers in and create a distinct atmosphere.\nPoint of View: Maintain a single character’s point of view per scene and avoid the dreaded head hopping. This allows readers to identify with a character.\nUse of Dialogue: Dialogue can reveal character\, advance the plot\, and create tension. He will share dialog-heavy excerpts and demonstrate how to minimize over-use of speaker attributes.\nSetting as Character: A well-developed setting can enhance the story and serve as a backdrop for character development. Gartee will share a passage that vividly describes Gainesville\, making it feel alive and integral to the narrative.\nPacing and Structure: Varying sentence length and structure can control the story’s pace and keep readers engaged. Pacing shifts during a high-energy event build suspense or excitement.\nHumor and Wit: He will share a scenario to illustrate how humor can be woven into storytelling to make the read more enjoyable and relatable.\n\nEditing and Revision: He will emphasize the need for professional editing and share examples of developmental editing\, line editing\, and copy editing.\n\n\n\n\n\nThis program is free and open to the public. Come join us!
