Interactive Workshop Teaches Writers How To Turn Ideas Into Published Book

Online, June 13, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Writing Coach and Author Lesley Vance will lead an intensive writers' workshop, titled "Write from the Heart," at Bellefleur Restaurant in Carlsbad on Friday, July 1, 2011 from 11:00 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. Vance has seven years of experience in the book publishing industry, and she knows the steps required to obtain publication.

The Write from the Heart Workshop will teach participants how to turn their ideas into a published book. New and experienced writers will benefit from the workshop as Vance teaches important steps for crafting key messages, writing an outline, determining target audiences and developing a unique writing style.

"One of the writing exercises, during the workshop, guides participants to write the first paragraph of their book," Vance explains. "The first paragraph should tell readers what the book is about, give them a reason to turn the page and establish trust with the reader. If you can't achieve that in the first 150-200 words, then you've lost your reader," she adds.

Seven Benefits of attending the Write from the Heart Workshop:
1. Learn how to expand your book idea and create your book's hook.
2. Craft your book's one-sentence description.
3. Define your book's purpose and key messages.
4. Learn how to write for your target audience.
5. Understand your book's competition.
6. Write your table of contents and book's outline.
7. Develop your first paragraph to captivate readers.
