Chicago Authors “Fall in” Behind Novelist’s Boot Camp
"Novelist’s Boot Camp" brings its exclusive battle plan for novel writing success to Naperville, Illinois writers at the downtown Barnes and Noble bookstore February 22nd at 7:00 PM.
Naperville, IL, February 14, 2007 --(PR.com)-- When “Novelist’s Boot Camp” marches into Naperville, IL and establishes headquarters at the Barnes and Noble bookstore on February 22nd at 7:00 PM, it will be backed by a strike force of best-selling local authors who have “earned their dog tags.”
“These are pros who know what ‘Novelist’s Boot Camp’ can do for writers,” said Todd A. Stone, author of “Novelist’s Boot Camp: 101 Ways to Take Your Fiction from Boring to Bestseller” (Writers Digest Books). Stone is a former Army Infantry Airborne Ranger, West Point Assistant Professor, and award-winning novelist. His new book provides a novel-writing battle plan, strategy, tactics, and kick-in-the-pants to aspiring and experienced authors alike. Stone will present an overview workshop and sign books at the Barnes and Noble bookstore, 47 East Chicago Ave. Naperville, IL 60540, at 7:00 PM on February 22nd, 2007.
Boot Camp veterans and allies are all on the same map when it comes to the value of Stone’s book. “If you are serious about being published, then get ‘Novelist’s Boot Camp’ now!” said Melody Thomas, author of “Angel in My Bed” and “A Match Made in ” (both from Avon/Harper Collins).
“I'm often asked what advice I'd give an aspiring author,” said Naperville author Kelle Z. Riley, a 2005 Golden Heart Finalist for her story “Beauty and the Billionaire” and the author of “Dangerous Affairs” from Echelon Press. “My answer? ‘Novelist's Boot Camp.’ It is THE must-have resource for new author.”
“'Novelist’s Boot Camp' helps you discipline your creativity,” Stone said. “The book de-mystifies writing a novel by providing strategies and specific techniques. These drills are tools, not rules, and are very accessible and easily adaptable to an individual’s style and personality.”
“’Novelist's Boot Camp’ is something special,” added Lindsay Longford, RITA-winning, bestselling author of 17 books. “It’s a way for new—and established—writers to find a fresh approach to the work of getting a story out of one’s brain and onto paper.”
“I am grateful for ‘Novelist’s Boot Camp’ for inspiring me to complete a writing task I thought was next to impossible,” said Dyanne Davis, author of “The Color of Trouble,” “The Wedding Gown,” “Misty Blue,” and “Let’s Get It On,” (Genesis Press).
“After learning a few tips from Todd Stone’s ‘Novelist’s Boot Camp,’ I had my orders and I was able to complete my mission, or in my case, my novel!” said Barbara M. Harrison, author of “Feel My Heart,” (Aspen Mountain Press).
Stone’s boot-camp-in-a-book includes 101 carefully crafted drills designed to show writers how to:
• Identify and develop story ideas—Comprehensive Concepts--with laser-like perception
• Create realistic "alpha" characters who can take charge of any scene
• Know what motivates a protagonist’s enemy so you can amp up the conflict
• Develop a Master Story Summary to avoid sneak attacks from flawed plot twists
• Dodge the land mines of bad writing like Deadly Modifier Buildup (DMBU)
• Triage scenes to ensure a thorough and precise revision process
Plus, there’s a twelve-week boot camp battle plan that writers can use to maintain momentum and finish their novels.
“The Naperville Barnes and Noble is a great place for readers and writers,” said Stone. “We’re honored they’ve invited us to bring our workshop to aspiring and published authors on February 22nd. “Novelist’s Boot Camp is helping people achieve their dreams—they’ve made writing a novel a mission and they’re making real progress towards accomplishing that mission.”
“The reviews have been excellent,” Stone said, “but I’ve been more pleased with the positive responses on blogs and the comments from both aspiring and experienced authors. This book is helping people achieve their dream—they’ve made writing a novel a mission and they’re making real progress towards accomplishing that mission.”
For writers ready to report for duty, ‘Novelist’s Boot Camp’ provides then with all the ammunition needed to approach the work with dedication, confidence, and skill. More information is available at www.storytellerroad.com
