Hey! I’m teaching a class in Waukesha next July!

I am honored to have been asked to teach a workshop at AllWriters’ Workplace & Workshop next summer.

I met Kathie Giorgio, director and founder of AllWriters, at the Edgerton (Wisconsin) Sterling North Book and Film Festival this past fall. She asked if I’d be interested in talking on gathering information about nonfiction books and turning those books into fiction works. I was honored to get the invitation and am looking forward to teaching the one-day class on July 18.

My class is part of AllWriters’ Celebrity Saturday, “which brings in a better-known, better-published author to work with you for one intensive day,” according to the AllWriters’ website. Celebrity Saturdays run from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and cost $85, which includes a lunch catered by Cafe De Art in Waukesha. Yum!

I’ll be discussing how I gathered information for my nonfiction book, “Murder in Wauwatosa: The Mysterious Death of Buddy Schumacher,” how I am taking that book and altering the information contained therein to turn the story into a screenplay “based on real events” and whatever else pops into my mind by July.
