SUMMARY:How to Fit Writing into a Vibrant Life (without going bananas)
DESCRIPTION:The Writers Alliance of Gainesville welcomes master juggler (of a vibrant life)\, author Michelle Dunlap\, who will share how she’s found ways to get writing done and help you develop your methods for consistently finding time to write.\n\nDo you have significant responsibilities? Perhaps you are raising children or grandchildren\, holding down multiple jobs\, caring for aging parents\, trying to improve the world through volunteerism\, or dealing with health issues that sap your strength.\n\nHow can we also fit productive writing into our lives? And meet deadlines? How can we do a good job of incorporating our writing without seeming rattled? How and when do we find time?\n\nOn Sunday\, September 14\, let’s come together at the Millhopper branch of the Alachua County Library and figure it out.\n\nThis interactive workshop will offer strategies that writers and other creatives can use to write while juggling multiple roles. Participants should bring a notebook\, calendar\, and pen to sketch a writing plan.\n\nThis session will be led by WAG board member\, educator Michelle Dunlap\, who has never known a time when she wasn’t juggling multiple family\, work\, and community responsibilities. Yet\, she has managed to write a dissertation and 50 other published pieces.\n\nShe has authored two books and co-edited three others. She managed all this while a single parent raising two children\, caring for a terminally ill parent\, and holding major ministerial\, board\, and other service responsibilities within her community.\n\n“It was far from easy\,” she said\, but she had to find ways to get the writing done to achieve her goals. In this workshop\, she hopes her strategies will help you develop your methods for consistently finding time to write.\n​\nThis program is free and open to the public. Join us!\n2:30-4 PM\nSeptember 14 \n\nMillhopper Branch\, Alachua County Library\n3145 NW 43rd St.\nGainesville\, FL 32606\n352-334-1272 (venue phone)\nMillhopper Branch | Alachua County Library District

SUMMARY:Judith T. Fisher: Your Road to Traditional Publishing
DESCRIPTION:The Writers Alliance of Gainesville welcomes author and speaker Judith T. Fisher\, who will speak on securing an agent and traditional publisher while avoiding pitfalls and scams.\n\nAuthor Judith T. Fisher will be WAG’s guest speaker on Sunday\, August 10. Her presentation\, “Your road to securing an agent and a traditional publisher while avoiding pitfalls and scams\,” will begin at 2:30 p.m. in Room A of the Millhopper branch of the Alachua County Library.\n\nThe discussion will include:\n\nAcquisition of agents\n\nquery letters\npress releases\nawards\, speaking engagements\, etc.\n\nPublisher’s Process\n\nsubmission acceptance calendar\nforms required\nsecure submission portals\n\nPitfalls and Scams\n\nthey won’t call you\nrepublishing scam\nhuge contract offers and the scams that go with them\n\n\nA journalism major\, Fisher first began writing a heartfelt blog to fill the time previously spent tending to her husband and two children. As she wrote and gained followers\, she decided to try pure fiction. She knew that women who grew up in her generation\, who struggled with fears\, questions\, and issues\, had no voice. They were silenced. She wanted to give a voice to those who still carry baggage\, coupled with shame\, embarrassment\, and skeletons that affect how they live their lives today.\n\nShe writes about experiences that affected her profoundly\, with the hope that her fictional protagonists’ successful solutions will give her readers encouragement.\n\nFour of her books include Voices from the Ledge\, which deals with social issues. A Life\, Well Lived is a fictional memoir. Okay\, So I Lied is about following your own bliss. Backfired is a study in unrequited love. Her most recent novel\, Two Lost Souls\, examines miscarriages and infertility.\nWith two grown children and six grandchildren\, Fisher currently resides in Central Florida with her husband and a four-legged “child\,” Mitzi.\n\nThis program is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:U.S. History That All Writers Should Know – by Dr. Rik Stevenson
DESCRIPTION:The Writers Alliance of Gainesville welcomes historian Dr. Rik Stevenson\, who will discuss the “Other Book” and underrepresented historical knowledge that allows writers to create more accurate storytelling.\n\nThe Writers Alliance of Gainesville’s Sunday\, July 13\, program with Dr. Rik Stevenson is the perfect follow-up to our historical Fannie Lou Hamer presentation by Pamela D. Marshall and the WAG/GFAA “Hidden Histories” exhibit at the Gainesville Fine Art Association’s gallery.\n\nStevenson’s presentation will discuss the concept of the “Other Book” and underrepresented historical knowledge that\, when surfaced\, allows writers to engage in expanded and deeper research\, creating more accurate storytelling and writing.\n\nBefore schools were integrated\, Black teachers taught from two books: the official book sanctioned by the government and the “other book\,” which taught the truth about Black experiences and other untold accurate histories. Sometimes\, one must dig deeper and go to the source material to learn the truth of our shared pasts to make our writing stronger and more accurate.\n\nWithout accurate and accessible history\, our writing may lack the depth and authenticity that attracts a broader audience. Dr. Stevenson’s presentation will provide a few of his favorite research techniques and community engagement strategies for securing greater and more accurate historical and contemporary knowledge and awareness—methods that can create deeper understandings and compassions\, and thus more story depth\, for writers who envision the building of highly believable characters and plots with whom wide audiences want to engage.\n\nStevenson’s presentation will also provide a platform for writers\, authors\, and aspiring authors to raise questions about the awareness and interconnectedness of history\, culture\, and economics\, and how such awareness can bring greater depth to our characters\, character arcs\, plots\, etc. When writers leave this experience\, they will likely see a familiar world with new eyes\, awareness\, and understanding that can help them more deeply create and bring richer stories into shared futures.\n\nStevenson is a historian. He holds a Ph.D. from Michigan State University in African American and African Studies. His research focus is the Middle Passage\, suicide\, and West and West Central African Cosmologies. He holds two master’s degrees from Fuller Theological Seminary and a Doctor of Divinity in African American Church History. As a speaker\, he is highly sought after for his cultural competency\, knowledge\, and skills. He teaches courses in Black Theology and African American Church History. He’s an Assistant Instructional Professor at the University of Florida. As a certified scuba diver\, he has worked with Diving With A Purpose\, seeking insight on the Slave Ship Guerrero.\n\nThis program is free and open to the public. Come join us!\n\n2:30-4 PM\nJuly 13 \n\nMillhopper Branch\, Alachua County Library

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.

SUMMARY:Dan Sharp: How to Write Fight Scenes
DESCRIPTION:Come join the Writers Alliance of Gainesville for “How to Write Fight Scenes” with author Dan Sharp.\n\nOn May 4\, WAG speakers bureau standout Dan Sharp will present the free program\, “How to Write Fight Scenes.” He will point out that conflict\, whether it involves fisticuffs or merely harsh words\, is a fork in the road for our characters and deserves careful attention to details. Sharp will provide insights into how a fight can develop and resources to improve our accuracy in describing them. He might even display or brandish some “weapons\,” but they will only be fake and shown for demonstration purposes.\n\nSharp is a research scientist by profession and a martial artist by avocation. He received the Outstanding Professor award at the University of Florida and has been to numerous countries worldwide as an invited speaker. He is also the author of hard-hitting action-adventure novels. His “Mae Arnold —The Fifty-Niners” is a historical thriller in which a young\, recently widowed woman seeks employment at Pinkerton’s Detective Agency in hopes of solving her husband’s grisly murder. Her first assignment pits her against a cold-hearted businessman who cancels people instead of their debts.\n\nSharp has always held an interest in brain function\, and through his studies\, it became clear to him that fear is a learned phenomenon and the ability to manage the fear reaction can be learned. The talk he gave to WAG a while back\, “12 Tips to Help You Beat the Public Speaking Jitters\,” was very well received.\n\nPlan to join us on May 4\, and in the meantime\, check out Sharp’s blog posts on his website\, https://dansharp-writer.com/fiction.\nTime/Date:\n2:30-4 PM\nMay 4

DESCRIPTION:Come join the Writers Alliance of Gainesville for a treat on Sunday\, March 9\, at 2:30 p.m. when author Pamela D. Marshall presents “The Speeches and Writings of Fannie Lou Hamer: A One Woman Show.”\n\n“As a writer\,” Marshall said\, “creating the Fannie Lou Hamer One-Woman Show taught me the power of weaving research and authentic voices and her songs into storytelling.

SUMMARY:Enneagrams for Writers and Other Creatives
DESCRIPTION:Guest speaker Dina Smith\, a licensed mental health professional\, will describe how the Enneagram can benefit writers and other creatives. She believes clarity can be empowering—and the Enneagram is the GPS that gets you there.

Just like a GPS maps out the most direct route to your destination\, the Enneagram shows you the path to becoming your highest\, truest self.\n\nIf you wish to test your Enneagram in advance of Smith’s talk\, here’s a link she supplied: https://www.truity.com/test/enneagram-personality-test. It’s free.\n\nSmith is a Masters Certified Addictions Professional and an Enneagram Informed Mental Health Professional.

SUMMARY:La Florida: Catholics\, Conquistadors\, and Other American Origin Stories
DESCRIPTION:The Matheson History Museum will host author and historian Dr. Kevin Kokomoor on Sunday\, December 10. He will discuss his book La Florida: Catholics\, Conquistadores\, and Other American Origin Stories\, followed by a Q&A and book signing. \nLa Florida explores a Spanish thread to early American history that is unfamiliar or even unknown to most Americans. As this book uncovers\, it was Spanish influence\, and not English\, which drove America’s early history. By focusing on America’s Spanish heritage\, this collection of stories complicates and sometimes challenges how Americans view their past\, which author Kevin Kokomoor refers to as “the country’s founding mythology.”
