As some of you know, I'm a B.S. in Communications from UM, class of 2002. Of man, is that 11 years ago already? I was on campus a few months ago for Homecoming Week and it felt like fond old times. Of course there were a few things that were new to me, including this.
By going back to campus on Feb. 11 at the Newman Alumni Center in Coral Gables, I'm going to share my experiences in journalism and writing novels with UM students, alumni and anyone in the community who wants to attend the free event. How do I dig up award-winning stories? How do I scoop the competition? How do I write over 20 stories a week, and then go home to work on a novel without passing out from exhaustion? (The answer doesn’t depends on controlled substances, I assure you.)
I'll also talk about what inspires my novels and how I make the few precious hours I find to write so productive. Social media promotion, and working with the traditional media to get reviews and radio appearances, will be another point of emphasis.
If you would like to join me at UM for this event, please RSVP here.
