Writing Popular Fiction

"Speaking from experience, I can tell you there isn't a muse and if there is, she's already dating someone else." If there isn't a muse, as you'll read in this invaluable book for writers, MANY GENRES ONE CRAFT is surely the next best thing. No matter what you want to learn--from choosing the point of view for a scene, from getting the most out of a critique group to fine-tuning your final draft, from approaching a literary agent to promoting your published book in print or electronically or both--it's all there. The contributors know their stuff, and what they're teaching applies to writing at any age. MANY GENRES ONE CRAFT covers all the bases superbly, including issues I haven't seen addressed anywhere else in today's rapidly shifting publishing landscape.

MGOC Signing on Friday 6.22 7pm at SHU

The annual Writing Popular Fiction MFA summer residency at Seton Hill begins this week, and we'll be joined by the annual summer reunion/workshop of alumni. The alums are hosting a feature rich workshop with many interesting guests and workshops -- see http://inyourwritemind.setonhill.edu/ -- and our campus at Seton Hill U in Greensburg, PA will be hosting their large public booksigning in the McKenna Center this Friday, June 22nd, 7-9pm.

Over thirty writers will be selling and signing their books, including: Kate Martin, Shelley Bates, Victoria Thompson, Meg Mims, Jason Jack Miller, Heidi Ruby Miller, Lawrence C. Connolly, William Horner, Rachael Pruitt, Scott A. Johnson, Sheldon Higdon, Gary Frank, Maria V Snyder, Patrice Lyle, Michael Knost, Geoffrey Fuller, Sally Bosco, Jessica Warman, J.L. Benet, Lynn Salsi, Lee Allen Howard, Lee McClain, Lana Ayers, Nicole Peeler, Ron Gavalik, Barbara Miller, Kristin Dearborn, Anne Harris, Rachell Nichole, and Mike Arnzen. The indie publisher, Raw Dog Screaming Press, will be there with copies of Arnzen's latest book (The Gorelets Omnibus) and launching alum Jason Jack Miller's new novel (Hellbender), among other things. Headline Books will also be there with a table and have copies of Many Genres for sale.

Obviously, this is a rare opportunity to get our anthology signed, as plenty of contributors from Many Genres, One Craft will be on hand to chat and sign copies of the book. To get a sense of what we expect the signing to be like, check out our array of photos from the launch of Many Genres at last summer's campus event.
