SCBWI Oregon’s professional series is here to help bring your writing and illustration skills to The Next Level. Whether you’re plotting a novel or perfecting a picture book, our TNL sessions can give you tools to advance your career. All levels of experience welcome.
We meet on the third Saturday of each month at Alongsiders Church (in the Fireside Room down the ramp) located at 2830 NE Flanders in Portland. (On street parking or in the lot across the street). Doors open at 2:15 pm, and speakers start at 2:30 pm. At 3:30 we’ll have a time for Q&A and/or book sales. The series runs from September 2019 through April 2020—except for December—but each session is different!
March Speaker: Ruth A. Musgrave, Author
March Topic: Fact Wrangling for Fiction Writers
Did you ever read a fiction and the facts poke at you and take you out of the story? Whether it is a world built from the author’s imagination or the blending of real and fictional world, facts matter. Maybe the author buries you in factual backstory, inadvertently puts a digital watch on Caesar, or forgets the characters can fly but they don’t in a perilous moment. How do bad facts hurt a good story? How can you avoid the pitfalls? Learn some tricks on how to research, track, and blend your facts into your next fiction from a professional fact wrangler.
