Registered attendees have the the option to add-on an one-on-one with Dr. Stan Williams.
Stan will meet with you one-on-one to answer your questions about story structure, the moral premise, character motivations, the conflict-of-values, research techniques, or perhaps critique the first sentence of your novel, revise your story’s logline, give feedback on a short synopsis of your story, or hone your one-minute elevator pitch. Please bring what you want to discuss in writing so you both can point at something physical and take notes. The appointments are 15-minutes and are $40.00 each.
Please Note: You MUST be a Registered Attendee, age 18 or older, to add-on an appointment. Time slots are first come. Registered attendees will receive an email closer to the event with add-on details.
