SUMMARY:PREPtober I: Writing for the Market — Genre\, Theme\, & Archetypes
DESCRIPTION:So\, you wanna be a financially successful author\, eh? Unless you set a solid theme within a defined genre using appropriate archetypes\, your goal may prove elusive. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nIn this session\, Jason will lead a half-hour reflection about literary viability that often bedevils aspiring authors. A book that doesn’t sit within a well-understood genre is hard to classify on a shelf\, and therefore hard to sell to readers. A book without a unifying theme degenerates into sequences rather than arcs. Characters and plots that bend archetypes leave readers disoriented and dissatisfied.  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAfter the reflection\, attendees will workshop solutions to each other’s questions or challenges about literary viability for traditional publishing. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThis session is in-person. Light snacks will be provided.
