Dr. Sontag will be on hand to sign books and to share a 1:45 pm presentation on where to find inspiration for writing. You'll also be able to see her ancient artifacts of a bronze dagger from the time of Hammurabi, an Egyptian alabaster dating back 3,500 years, and a Phoenician silver coin from over 1,300 years ago. Look for her and her North Texas SCBWI writing friends in the local authors' area.

What's the difference between a shallow and a deep point of view for fictional characters? This workshop defines and explores these differences by presenting three enemies that hinder, and four tips that can help deepen a character’s POV. The workshop includes a Powerpoint to illustrate the concepts presented and to stimulate discussion. Handouts and prompts will also be provided, allowing writers time to process and practice the items discussed. Length: approximately 60 minutes
