Presented by: Peggy Jaeger
Date: August 13, 2022 9AM PT
Pricing: A2P Member fee: FREE
Non-A2P Member fee: $10
About the Workshop:
If you’ve never used a vision board to help you clarify your life, career, and personal goals, then you don’t know what you’ve been missing.
For the past twenty years I’ve used vision boards to help guide my writing career, and aid in making personal goals for my weight, my health, and my relationships.
This workshop will help you discover why vision boards are so helpful in getting you to achieve definable and measurable goals and the reasons behind the psychology of “wishing and dreaming” vs. Goal setting.
About the Presenter:
Peggy Jaeger is a multi-published contemporary romance author and Registered Nurse who happens to be in the Second Act of her life, so that credo of walking the walk and talking the talk is one she knows intimately. Realizing there is a market for romance readers and writers who are also in the second act of their lives prompted her to develop this workshop to instruct, educate, and entertain readers and writers of romance of a certain age.

Finding Your Brand
Presented by: Beth Bolden
Date: July 16, 2022 9AM PT
Pricing: A2P Member fee: FREE
Non-A2P Member fee: $10
About the Workshop:
With so many books being published every year, how do you learn to separate yourself from the crowd? How do you develop a loyal, buying audience who is desperate to gobble up every single thing you write?
The answer is simple: branding.
Branding is the way you package yourself as an author, and the best part is that it’s not only easy, it doesn’t require you to change the way you write, what you write, or how you write. It doesn’t matter if you’re an indie author or traditionally published. Every author needs to figure out how to brand themselves.
Join Beth Bolden to discover the most important guidelines to branding and find an audience that is desperate to read your books!
About the Presenter:
Beth Bolden is originally from the Pacific Northwest, and she’s been writing since her mom stuck a pencil in her hand the first time. She used to think branding was a complete waste of time, but ever since she changed her mind, she’s doubled her book income (and you can, too!). The author of twenty-seven novels and eight novellas, Beth enjoys hanging out with her husband and their cat, Earl Grey, in their new hometown of Wake Forest, North Carolina.

May 18, 2022 by marianne h donley in category Ages 2 Perfection Online Class, Online Classes tagged as Aged to Perfection Online Class, Melinda Curtis, writing conflict
Presented by: Melinda Curtis
Date: June 1 – 30, 2022 (one month)
Pricing: A2P Member fee: $15
Non-A2P Member fee: $30
About the Workshop:
Conflict is what keeps someone reading or watching your work from start to finish. But how do you set up conflict throughout your script or story pages without slowing the pace or being repetitive? Join this interactive class where you’ll explore internal and external conflict, and:
- Sharpen your awareness of conflict in the work of others (if you see it, you can do it!);
- Diagnose “flat” scenes;
- Strengthen your understanding of the changing layers of conflict in the three act structure (conflict isn’t the same on page 1 as page 50);
- Which can be used to develop conceptual conflict journeys for your characters;
- Create a mini-draft of your story.
About the Presenter:
Prior to writing romance, award-winning, USA Today Bestseller Melinda Curtis was a junior manager for a Fortune 500 company, which meant when she flew on the private jet she was relegated to the jump seat—otherwise known as the potty. After grabbing her pen (and a parachute) she made the jump to full-time writer. A hybrid author, Melinda has written for Harlequin, Grand Central Forever and Caezik Romance, mostly sweet romance and sweet romantic comedies. One of her Harlequin books – Dandelion Wishes – was made into a 2020 TV movie – Love in Harmony Valley. She recently came to grips with the fact that she’s an empty nester and a grandma, concepts easier to grasp than movies made from her books or jet-setting on a potty.
