A two-week beginning plotting workshop designed to teach you how to avoid dangling threads and saggy middles. We focus on working with plot, subplots, and turning points and discuss ways to keep your plot fresh. This workshop is focused on creating the basic blueprint of your story, not on the details you'll bring to the manuscript as you write, leaving you free to have the best of both worlds -- a blueprint to follow, and the freshness of creating as you write.
Although Sherry Lewis spent years working at a variety of jobs, the only thing she ever really wanted to do was write novels. Never plays. Not short stories or magazine articles. Just novels. But life has a way of interrupting dreams, and Sherry put her dreams on hold to get married and start a family. She worked in the floral industry with her husband's family until divorce ended that career, then later found herself with a career in the legal field and a side-job singing in a band. She was working as an administrative assistant for a federal judge when those childhood dreams began to whisper louder than ever, and she finally decided to take a chance.
In November 1993, she sold the first three mysteries in a series to Berkley Prime Crime and, just a few months later, Harlequin Superromance bought her first contemporary romance. Now, the author of novels spanning the mystery, romantic suspense, contemporary romance, and time-travel romance genres, Sherry is living her life-long dream as a full-time writer.
Her books have received several awards, including a nomination for a Reviewer’s Choice award from Romantic Times Magazine. In 1999, she was presented with the Isolde A. Carlsen Utah Writer of the Year Award by the Utah Chapter Romance Writers of America. Sherry has served the Utah Chapter as conference coordinator, contest coordinator, PAN Liaison, and Chapter President for two consecutive terms. She is also a member of PAN, PASIC, and The Kiss Of Death Chapter.
When Sherry's not writing, she's teaching writing courses on-line, trying to keep up with her kids' lives, reading, or enjoying the scenery in the Rocky Mountains.
