Our 5th annual June CWHV conference was an inspiring success! As always, our attendees were hard working and attacked every exercise with passion and due diligence. Our presenters were well-informed, personable and entertaining.
John Cusick, agent at Folio Jr./Folio Literary
Management, schooled us with helpful tips on time management, creating a work
space, how to persevere in our writer’s journey, the value of critique groups
and what qualities they should have and how the “Love of your life” can mess
you up! My favorite line: “Give your inner voice a name.” He explained why.
Sarah Jane Abbott and John Cusick |
The writing exercises were graphing your plot arc,
editing a picture book manuscript using the tools and techniques discussed
earlier and giving your character a quality and showing it through writing devices.
Lunch with Brett Duquette |
The hands-on exercise involved writing out a plot arc for
your novel or WIP (work in progress).
Harold Underdown |
The attendee participation was pairing up with someone
who was not familiar with your story and reading your first page. What was the
other person’s reader response?
We closed out the afternoon with our First 100 Words
Panel. John, Sarah, Brett and Harold read the first 100 words of randomly
selected attendee first pages. Their first impression comments were insightful
and helpful to all our attendees.

who made our conference a wonderful event. Thank you John Cusick, Sarah Jane
Abbott, Brett Duquette, Harold Underdown, attendee writers, Merritt Bookstore
