Arrive at 10:00 a.m. to shop, snack, and chat with your fellow attendees, our presenters, and SINCA members. After our 10:30 a.m. introduction and overview, the following sessions will take place! 


Sessions

Bobby Nash — 10:40 a.m. EST "Writing Savvy Sleuths & Sinister Suspects"

With decades of experience in the publishing world, Bobby Nash knows a thing or two about writing villains you love to hate and heroes you love to root for. This session will cover how to manage reader expectations, character development, and motivations related to writing both.


Thomas Mullen — 11:35 a.m. EST "Getting Your Characters Into (and Out of) Trouble"

Learn how to manage the relationship between strong character development and titillating suspense so that your well-orchestrated story can bring out the best of both.


Peggy Ehrhart — 12:50 p.m. EST "Create Clues That Advance Your Plot and Puzzle Your Readers"

This session will help you understand the difference between "real" clues and red herrings so you can leverage both to keep your readers turning pages.


L. M. Whitaker — 1:45 p.m. EST "7 Tips for Writing Successful Scenes"

Learn seven strategies for crafting scenes that are essential, engaging, and exciting.



Spend the last portion of the day networking with your fellow scribes, getting the books you purchased signed, and prepping to depart with your intellectual and literary spoils! At 2:45 p.m. we'll be clearing out the room and headed home!
