The Rim Country District of the Arizona Press Women (APW) is sponsoring a workshop re: finding your niche in fiction writing. The event features urban fantasy author Kevin Hearne who will give a keynote presentation at the East West Exchange at 100 N. Tonto Strreet in Payson from 1-3 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 9.
Hearne, a Valley English teacher, will discuss his path to publication of The Iron Druid Chronicles, a 3-book urban fantasy series with Del Rey, an imprint of Random House. He will provide insight into market analysis, writing a book and sending out proposals, landing an agent and polishing the manuscript. He will offer tips for breaking into the fiction market with specifics regarding fantasy and science fiction genres. A question and answer session will follow the presentation. All three of Hearne’s books (HOUNDED, HEXED, and HAMMERED) will be published in the summer of 2011.
