Writing a young adult novel? Learn how to use the most important building blocks of fiction: point of view, plotting, and
characterization. Did you know that 90% of the manuscripts in publishers' slush piles have point of view problems and, as a result, are immediately rejected? Don't let your novel be one of them. Learn about point of view and how to use it effectively. Also, find out how to save time and effort in the revising stages by setting up your plot and characters right the first time around.

Janette Rallison is the award winning author of 15 novels and has sold over 800,000 books, including Fame, Glory, and Other Things on My To Do List IRAYoung Adults' Choices List 2007 and It's a Mall World After All IRA Young Adults' Choices List 2008. Most of her books are romantic comedies because there is enough angst in real life, but there Is a drastic shortage on both humor and romance. She lives in Chandler, Arizona with her husband, five kids, and enough cats to classify her as eccentric. Some of her other titles include My Fair Grandmother, Just One Wish, and How to Take the Ex Out of Ex-Boyfriend.
AM coffee, tea, and other beverages can be purchased in the hotel's restaurant. Water will be available in the meeting room or you may bring your own bottled water. Please bring a brown bag lunch and beverage, or have lunch in the hotel's restaurant or a nearby fast food place.
