Superstars Writing Seminar – March 19-21, 2010
Superstars they are. Market master Kevin J. Anderson and his CEO wife Rebecca Moesta are joined by phenom Brandon Sanderson, popular Eric Flint, and the respected David Farland. It does sound like an amazing seminar, though it is the accolades listed upon the right-hand side of the website that impress me most.
I sat beneath the tutelage of Anderson and Moesta during a two hour session on the business of being a professional writer at Dragon*Con ’09. It was a powerful session delivered by determined professionals. I can imagine what three days of that atmosphere could do for a writer’s mindset and career. I’d be highly interested in hearing from anyone who’s attended one of these, or other like sessions by any of the listed superstars. Shoot, who am I kidding? I’d be extremely agreeable to hearing from anyone who’d like to sign me up and send me off to it. I think I can make room in my schedule.

I’d love to go but there’s no way I can swing the time, money would be an issue too.
But I did attend a 2 day “write that novel” seminar with Dave Farland last year, it was one of the best writerly things I have been too. I learned a lot-not grammar but story structure and craft.
I could e-mail you the booklet he gave us for the class-PDF.
Sanderson also spoke as guest of honor at a writers conferece at a local univeristy last september and while he isn’t quite as teaching oriented as Farland, he still brought up some great tips on writing.
Coolness! I actually do not know too much about Farland. And while I respected Anderson & Moesta’s information and advice, I have almost no desire to read any of their books. I enjoyed Sanderson’s Elantris but haven’t been back to him.
I’d love to see the PDF, David – thank you! Here’s the contact email addy for the blog: blog@jasonmwaltz.com
