Pre-Conference Session
Design an Encounter — Not a Speech
Karen Porter is obsessed with how your audience receives your messages. In this interactive 3-hour session, writers and speakers will learn new tools for taking your reader forward and getting your audience on the edge of their seat. This pre-conference session goes beyond preparation and outlining all the way to audience transformation. We’ll answer the questions, “What will they remember six weeks from now?” and “How do I create the moment that something changes for the audience.” Technically good writing and speaking can still leave people unmoved. You will never again leave your audience or reader unchanged.
Breakout Session
The Next Level Illustrations
“Show, don’t tell” is advice everybody has heard—but many writers and speakers still don’t know what to do. Find the story behind the story. Sometimes the real story is hidden because the tangible and meaningful essential is the decision, realization, reversal, loss, or longing. Learn the actual tools: scene construction, sensory selection, dialogue, compression, pacing, emotional restraint, narrative distance, and where telling is actually better than showing. For speakers and writer of both fiction and non-fiction.
