The Arlington Writers Meetup - How To Build a Novel
This location is shown only to members
HOW TO BUILD A FICITON NOVEL
With Special Guest, Author, and Group Member, Michael Sullivan
Michael Sullivan is the author of 19 novels. Recently his novel, "The Crown Conspiracy" was published by Aspirations Media Inc. and was named a Book of the Year finalist with Foreword Magazine. His second published novel will be forthcoming in 2009 from AMI.
Michael will share his personal experiences and methods as he goes about telling a story. He will refer to a short story of his he has posted in the Files section entitled, "Tradition," and attendees may find the discussion more meaningful if they have a chance to read this 4000 word piece.

CarolMichael's experiences were affirming for other aspiring novelists and the techniques he's developed on his own were surprisingly similar to those which others have used. The author's wife Robin also shared some very useful information about contracts and the publishing business. I haven't gotten around yet to reading the first chapter of his next book, posted here, but I'm looking forward to that. I appreciate both of them sharing their time.

Robin SullivanI found it fancinating - I had never heard Michael talk about his process before so I learned alot even after knowing him for 28 years and helping him with his writing for the last few. I think Michael made a lot of good points. I saw a lot of people taking notes and there were good questions so I think it was well received.
