To all writers, poets, or simply people who put words to paper,

Are you searching for a more eloquent turn of phrase or seeking *le mot juste*? Are you worried about copyright or considering self-publishing? If yes and you're willing to watch, listen, and learn from others who've done so successfully, then join our monthly sessions titled "Write to Publish, Publish to Sell."

Every first Wednesday of the month, via recorded Zoom sessions, we'll have a guest speaker who will share their experiences, lessons learned, some of their craft, and answer your questions. Our guests have been and will be writers, agents, editors, or others who devote some of their time to help us be better artists.

Stay tuned for the details for each event. The details will be published a week to a couple of weeks before each event.

Once you RSVP yes for an upcoming session here, via Meetup, a BWA member will send you our Zoom link.

Cheers,

Boulder Writers Alliance Meetup

**Honoring Andrea Gibson: The Poet and Their Craft**

Andrea Gibson was a globally recognized spoken word poet. In their final years, they were the Poet Laureate of Colorado while living with terminal cancer. A nonbinary political activist, Andrea’s attitude of hope and gratitude colored their words and inspired all who knew them. This workshop honors Andrea as a role model and explores their craft: the themes, devices, and impact of their writing.

Honoring Andrea Gibson: The Poet and Their Craft

December's hybrid meeting--IN PERSON at the **Boulder Library Main Branch second floor Flatirons Meeting Room** & ONLINE (see link when you register)--is *We Solve Murders* by Richard Osman (UK, 2024) on Sunday starting at 2:30 pm (for 2 hours).

Best-selling British author Richard Osman kicks off a new murder mystery series by introducing us to Amy Wheeler—a hard-knuckled private bodyguard for Maximum Impact Solutions, the famous author she's protecting, her retired police officer father-in-law turned private detective, and the enigmatic character behind a series of murders, François Loubet. Snappy dialogue, good food, international travel, hijinks and other perilous situations abound for our lovable band of sleuths as they figure out who the killer really is.

We are Writers Who Read. We use Literary Forensics to dissect a recent novel (published within the past 18 months) with the goal of uncovering how the author has utilized their skills for effect. Storytelling is an art, but it's not a mystery. Every writer must address the following:

* Structure, Timeline, Pacing, Suspense, Omission
* Point of View, including Voice, Character, Place
* Language, Tense, Imagery, Metaphor, Symbols
* Motivation: Making a story pop - generating a thrill
* Why this story? And why now? Industry considerations

We ask that all attendees read the entire book in advance of the meeting, and come bearing their discoveries of how the author has addressed each of the five points above.
