When it comes to facelifting and transforming stories, there are ideas that come to mind: making it funny and turning essays into a full book. While these two things are quite different, they both have incredible value for any author to know how to do.
At HippoCamp: A Conference for Creative Nonfiction Writers, we are going to dive deep in both of those topics in hopes to create more well-rounded, confident, and skilled writers. Whether brand new or a seasoned veteran, you won’t want to miss these two sessions.
The Humor Makeover: How to Take Your Existing Work and Make it Funny with Amy Fish and Lara Lillibridge
Let these two firecracker speakers, Fish and Lillibridge, boost your memoir to new heights with their humor makeover methods! They’ll keep it light, but dig into the nitty gritty of pages to really make the story pop. Oh, and they will be utilizing “hypo allergenic non animal testing products.” Just kidding.
Reconstruction: Transforming Essays into a Narrative Memoir Manuscript with Lisa Romeo
Some writers are born to write essays. These short stories are brimming with juicy, satisfying content—BUT, sometimes these writers hit a wall when they seek out publishers. In this session, Romeo is going to lay out her experience as an essayist who turned her many stories into one in order to get them published. She will arm you with loads of tools and techniques and get you well on your way to transforming your own stories.
The time has come for storytellers like you to find your place in the publishing world!
