Smoky’s creative writing workshop was a critical step for me as I turned to fiction after a long career in journalism. Her course was exactly what I needed, and I’ve now published four novels. –Robert Hays
For seven years, Smoky taught fiction writing workshops at community colleges in the Midwest. Students often came up to her and told her, “You should take these lessons you teach us and turn them into a book.” Her publisher thought that was an excellent idea, and Front-Word, Back-Word, Insight Out: Lessons on Writing the Novel Lurking Inside You From Start to Finish was born.
Several years later, her publisher suggested she write another book for writers. Left Brained, Write Brained: 366 Writing Prompts and Exercises to Free Your Creative Spirit, Awaken Your Muse, and Challenge Your Skills Every Day of the Year is a year’s worth of fun and educational prompts that will stimulate your creativity and improve your writing skills.
Now, both books are combined into one volume. Smoky’s Writer’s Workshop Combo Set will teach you how to write a novel and provide you with a daily writing prompt to get you warmed up and your creative juices flowing. If you’ve ever dreamed of writing The Great American Novel, Smoky’s Writer’s Workshop Combo Set is the place to begin.
Smoky’s Writer’s Workshop Combo Set is available in eBook format at both Amazon and Smashwords.
PRINT EDITION is now available from Amazon and other fine online retailers!
