“I thank Web Guru Linda Lee for showing me how to have fun with WordPress 3 years ago. Now my blog is synonymous with my name and I get to help thousands of writers. Linda is so kind too!” Teresa LeYung-Ryan, author of Build Your Writer’s Platform & Fanbase In 22 Days

A Blueprint for Writing and Selling Your First Novel with Martha Alderson, author of The Plot Whisperer (Six Continental Room)
Even though I don’t present on Sunday, I’ll be at the conference that day to be with my buddy Martha. After all, she’s the guru who taught me how to plot and really understand front-story and back-story in 1999. That year, I found my agent; next year an acquisition editor at a big New York publisher found me through my agent . . . all that would not have happened if I didn’t “get” plot. Thank you, Plot Whisperer!
Lori Noack, talent extraordinare www.vrbo.com/315213 and www.etsy.com/shop/VintageSanFrancisco
Rebecca Martin http://dearjane.info will you be there?
Luisa Adams, author of Woven of Water: Luisa cannot join us, but she’ll be there in spirit; Mary & I will be using her beautiful memoir when we show-and-tell in our presentation.
Sincerely
Coach Teresa LeYung-Ryan
