This program will cover all aspects of the novel craft (voice, tension, POV, character development, psychological subtext, imagery, dialogue, etc.) and will also provide an insiders view of the current status of the fiction market (who is buying and selling, what trends are hot and cold, etc.) and will help you prepare for the pitch, the sale, the deal, and the promotion. Program also includes a Peer Critique group, the first session of which is moderated by Jonathan who will go through the steps of how for a manuscript analysis. A dedicated Yahoo Group will also be set for this program.

Bucks County Biographer Oana Nechita to Teach Women’s Memoir Class in Doylestown
Dates: April, 7th - 28th - 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. (Every Monday)
FEE: $120
Bucks County biographer Oana Nechita is taking her memory-writing workshop on the road. Last year, Nechita led a group of seniors through a memoir-writing class at Wesley Enhanced Living’s Heritage Towers. Now, she’s been invited to teach a writing class designed specifically for women at Doylestown’s Writers Corner.
“I never dreamed that the idea for a memoir class would be so well received,” said Nechita. “I’m honored and excited to begin this special class for women in the Doylestown community.”
In the four-week class, Nechita and her students will explore the unique way that women relate to the world. Together, they will share common life stories, learn various writing techniques and simply enjoy each other’s company.
The class will take place each Monday night in April, beginning on April 7 and ending on April 28. The class runs from 6:30pm until 8:00pm. The cost for the entire course is $120, which includes participation and materials. Space is limited to 15 participants. Interested women can contact Laurel Cook at 215-230-1070 or visit the Writers Corner website at www.writerscornerusa.com.
Nechita’s weekly memoir class at Heritage Towers last fall was met with great enthusiasm. She was amazed each week by the effort and time that each resident put into the course.
“The residents at Heritage Towers were very eager to share their stories and pass them on to their families,” Nechita said. “I hope the women who take this special class will see it as an opportunity to share their legacy with enthusiasm and have great fun along the way.”
ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR - Nechita’s local business, Bucks Biographer, LLC, helps Bucks County residents commit their family history to paper. She takes no credit for their memoirs, insisting that her role is simply to bring out the stories and rich details of their lives and craft the writing of their book. Nechita is originally from Romania, and currently resides in Doylestown. She has published poetry and memoirs in literary journals in the U.S. and abroad, and is currently at work on a book-length memoir. Her website is www.BucksBiographer.com .
