Coming Up…
Join multi-published mystery author Liz Mugavero for an interactive webinar that blends the art of mystery writing with powerful practices to support your creative flow. Whether you’re just starting out or returning to a long-held dream, this session will help you develop a sustainable writing practice, tap into your creativity, and outline your mystery novel using proven storytelling techniques.
Whether you’re writing a mystery or a story with a strong mystery subplot, guided exercises will help you build compelling characters, intriguing settings, and a plot that keeps readers hooked—while exploring mindfulness tools to keep your inspiration flowing. You’ll leave with a personalized roadmap for your novel and a mindset to support your ongoing writing journey.
In this workshop, Emmy Award-winning TV news anchor and bestselling author, Linda Hurtado Bond, will guide authors through five dynamic strategies designed to elevate their book's visibility and amplify their personal brands. Participants will learn how to effectively leverage social media platforms to engage with readers, host virtual events and live streams to connect directly with their audience, utilize email marketing and blogging for ongoing engagement, leverage media outreach to gain traditional press attention, and run creative campaigns or giveaways to generate buzz around their books. By applying these five strategies, authors can break through the clutter of the publishing industry and oversaturated social media market and make their work stand out.

BREAKOUT NOVEL
"Don Maass's Breakout Novel Intensive was a life-changer. In one week, I learned more than I ever had in the two years it took to earn my MFA, and at a fraction of the cost. I plan to return again and again to these workshops. Thank you to the entire Free Expressions team for the best writing week ever."

STORY DEVELOPMENT
"When I signed up for a one-on-one weekend with Lorin, I had no idea she offered so much more than manuscript revision. She knew my story, my characters, and the heart of my story with such clarity and depth. With Lorin's intellect, love of story, and professional integrity, run don't walk to sign up."
