SUMMARY:AWP Conference: "East Coast\, West Coast\, Best Coast: Writing the Midwest"
DESCRIPTION:“If you opened me up\, you’d find Ohio\,” writes Maggie Smith. Writers from all coasts wrestle with the question of how to write place\, but it’s especially charged in the Midwest\, where our forests and lakes\, our asphalt and industry are so often called fly-over country. How can stories dig deeper into the truth of this place and its people? Whether we’ve been here our whole lives\, left and returned\, or never want to go back\, the Midwest lives in the body\, not in our heads but our bones. \nRoom 2505AB\, Kansas City Convention Center\, Level 2

SUMMARY:The Mystery of Writing Crime Novels  (Ubud Writers and Readers Festival event)
DESCRIPTION:Tracey Lien is the author of the debut novel All That’s Left Unsaid\, which investigates the Vietnamese Australian enclave of Cabramatta in the 1990s and explores the emotional complexity of Vietnamese refugee and Asian Australian experiences. I Have Some Questions for You is a literary murder mystery by Rebecca Makkai\, set in an élite boarding school\, which deconstructs the tropes of the genre. Megan Nolan’s new novel\, Ordinary Human Failings\, is a heart-breaking\, unflinching\, compulsive tale that blends an unsolved murder with family history\, police procedure\, and romantic frustration. Jill Dawson writes crime novels and skillfully exposes class and misogyny and the part they play in determining women’s lives—and often preventable deaths. These authors will speak about the process of creating a rich storyline and how they weave social commentary into their narratives. \nTracey Lien\, penulis dengan novel perdananya All That’s Left Unsaid\, menyelami kantong komunitas Vietnam-Australia di Cabramatta pada tahun 1990an\, menjelajahi kerumitan suasana batin para pengungsi Vietnam\, dan pengalaman hidup orang Asia-Australia. I Have Some Questions for You oleh Rebecca Makkai adalah kisah misteri pembunuhan berlatar sebuah sekolah asrama elit\, membongkar batasan dan rumusan terkait genre. Novel terbaru Megan Nolan\, Ordinary Human Failings\, adalah sebuah kisah mengharukan\, tanpa basa-basi dan menggugah yang menggabungkan misteri pembunuhan dengan sejarah keluarga\, cara polisi bekerja\, dan tekanan romantik. Para penulis ini akan membahas proses meramu alur cerita yang kaya sembari merajut kritik sosial ke dalam penuturan kisah mereka tentang bagaimana tiap pribadi manusia membentuk identitas dan sejarah pribadi mereka. Jill Dawson menulis novel-novel kriminal dan dengan terampil mengekspos bias kelas dan misogini\, juga peranan mereka dalam menentukan nasib perempuan – juga\, seringkali\, kematian yang seharusnya dapat terhindarkan. Penulis-penulis ini akan bercerita tentang proses menciptakan alur cerita yang kaya dan bagaimana mereka menyelipkan komentar sosial ke dalam penuturan mereka. \nValley Stage @Taman Baca.

SUMMARY:WORDPLAY CLASS: First Page\, Last Polish (part of The Loft’s Wordplay festival)
DESCRIPTION:Your opening is the first thing an agent or editor will read—and you don’t want it to be the last. But you’ve seen your own first page so often that its strengths\, flaws\, gaps\, and even typos are invisible to you now. So often\, all we can think to do to polish it up is add more descriptors—perhaps the last thing it needs. In this class we’ll hone the crucial elements of reader orientation\, clarity\, intrigue\, promise\, diction\, and perspective—the things that make a reader keep reading\, or move on. We’ll also talk about how to get a story really going\, even in its first paragraphs\, without sounding desperate—something harder than it seems.
