NY Times and USA Today Bestselling author Theresa Alan will be giving a workshop on injecting humor into your manuscript the week of April 10. Theresa's debut novel, "Who You Know," was a USA Today recommended summer read that spent several weeks on the Barnes and Noble bestseller list! Her other novels include "The Girls' Global Guide to Guys" (with the fabulous tag line, "Around the World in 80 Dates"), "Spur of the Moment," and the soon-to-be-released "Girls Who Gossip" (Kensington, April 6, 2006). She also has novellas contained in the anthologies "Sex and The Single Witch," "I Shaved My Legs For This?" and "Jingle All the Way."

Then on April 22, Beth Orsoff, author of the soon-to-be-released "Romantically Challenged" (New American Library, April 4, 2006) will give a chat on what to expect if a movie production company wants to buy the rights to your book. Beth is a former assistant general counsel for Warner Bros. and vice president of business affairs for MGM Pictures who once dated twenty-seven men in one year. Now happily married, Beth lives in Los Angeles and splits her time between lawyering, writing, publicizing, and taking care of her husband and their Tickle Me Elmo. Now wonder she's so tired!

I like how you share this list - I always check out a few of the workshops you post. Thanks.

I saw on Sarah's blog you said you'd be interested in discussing Mod X. I'd love to pick your brain, if you don't mind. Email me at kdid210 @ yahoo.com (minus spaces), and let's talk. :)

I would love to write a sexy dentist, by the way! I think it can be done!!!!!!!!!!!
