11:00 – 11:45 Session One with Loree Lough:
IT’S ELEMENTARY, MY DEAR – Some experts claim three key elements are necessary in everything we write. Others insist there are five. Loree says when you’re writing articles, essays, short stories, or novels, you need seven…if you ever hope to sell what you write. And in this presentation, she’ll provide an interactive workshop that defines them all. (Handouts)

12:45 – 1:30 – Session Two with Loree Lough:
MAKE YOUR RESEARCH HOURS PAY…LITERALLY – As any writer knows, research is necessary, whether you’re writing articles, essays, short stories, or novels. What most don’t know is how to use that research as a springboard for other things. Loree will show you how she turned the research for one novel into a short story and 14 articles that earned $1,950.00. (Handouts)

About Our Guest Speaker: Best-selling Author Loree Lough
Best-selling author Loree Lough once sang for her supper, performing all across the US and Canada. Now and then, she blows the dust from her six-string to croon a tune or two, but mostly, she just writes
(2,500+ articles, 99 novels that earned hundreds of industry and “Readers’ Choice” awards, 4- and 5-star reviews, and 4 movie options).
Loree enjoys sharing learned-the-hard-way lessons about the craft and the industry, and her comedic approach to the boring “how-to write” makes her a favorite for writers’ organizations, private/government institutions, and high school/college writing programs across the US and abroad.
She and her real-life hero (her hubby) live in Maryland and love spending time at their cabin in the Alleghenies, where Loree loves showing off her “identify the critter tracks” skills.
