YELLOW
SPRINGS, Ohio, June 4, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Registration is now open for the 2024 Into The
Springs Writers Workshop, an immersive weekend of shared
educational sessions and direct access to expert presenters. The
workshop runs from August 2 through
the 4th at the picturesque Mills Park Hotel in Yellow Springs, Ohio.
Now in its sixth year, the conference is a must-attend for any
writers who are interested in improving their craft and networking
with industry professionals. The $299.99 fee includes all workshop sessions,
Saturday lunch, beverage stations, and parking. Register online at
www.intothespringswritersworkshop.com.
Guest presenters this year include mystery author and journalist
Andrew Welsh-Huggins, Jeffrey Marks, mystery author and publisher with
Crippen and Landru Publishers, and voice artists from Ohio
Audiobook Narrators. Sessions will cover topics such as research,
revision, creating a short story from an idea, getting an agent
through a query letter or book proposal, and the history of the
mystery genre.
Among the guest presenters this year is Andrew Welsh-Huggins, the award-winning author
of a mystery series featuring ex-OSU Buckeye quarterback turned
private investigator Andy Hayes. His
latest book, "The End of the Road," was named one of the best
thrillers of the first half of 2023 by Library Journal. Kirkus
called it "A crackerjack crime yarn chockablock with miscreants and
a supersonic pace."
Crippen and Landu Publishers award-winning writer and editor
Jeffrey Marks also joins the
workshop this year. Marks has received the Barnes and Noble Prize
and was nominated for a Maxwell award, an Edgar, three Agathas, two
Macavity awards, and three Anthony awards.
"At Into The Springs Writers Workshop, we believe in the power
of community and shared experiences. Our participants and guest
instructors come together for an immersive weekend, where they
learn, grow, and inspire each other," said Into The Springs Writers
Workshop Director Sandy Kachurek.
"We aim to give our participants the skills, community, and
resources to cultivate their craft and finely hone stories,
narratives, and a flourishing business as professional
writers."
Mystery is not the sole focus of the workshop. Into The Springs
will cover the fundamentals of effective writing in any genre,
answering questions such as: How does your story connect with
readers, and how can you strengthen that connection? How do you
attract an agent or be a successful self-published author?
New this year, voice artists from Ohio Audiobook Narrators will
present a special session on audio narration. Audiobooks are an
essential and growing option for readers, and many authors want to
create their own work. The session will include information on
professional narration, the required skills and equipment, and how
artificial intelligence has affected audio narration.
Saturday evening includes a celebration of writing when, for two
hours, participant authors may sell their books and are invited to
read during an open mic session. The public will be invited.
Registration for Into The Springs Writers Workshop closes on
Thursday, July 25. Organizers urge
people to register soon. Space is limited and may sell out
quickly.
