Biblio Breakdown: How to Suprise Your Readers
Live Webinar
In Biblio Breakdown, instructor Ekta Garg will offer analysis and writing exercises based on a book so you can see what it did well and practice it yourself.
Writers who already have a work in progress will benefit most (but anyone is welcome!) For this Breakdown, we’ll talk about how to surprise your readers within the context of Logging Off by Nick Spalding.
About the presenter: Following the completion of her MSJ in magazine publishing from Northwestern University, Ekta’s career in publishing started in 2005 when she became the editor for all special projects out of Community Newspapers, Inc., (now Pamplin Media Group) in Portland, Oregon. Since then the diversity in her career has led her to writing and editing just about everything from healthcare to home improvement to Hindi films. In 2010, Ekta added blogging to her resume by starting The Write Edge at http://thewriteedge.wordpress.com. The Write Edge, and its three extension blogs, gives her a place to share her short fiction, book reviews, and parenting adventures.
As a book reviewer for Bookpleasures.com and Netgalley.com, Ekta gets to stay up way too late reading advanced reviewer copies of new adventures by experienced and upcoming authors alike. She also uses The Write Edge as a dynamic communication tool for those interested in hiring her as an editor for their writing projects. She’s met many talented people along the way in the incredible opportunities she’s received to edit short stories, memoirs, how-to books, anthologies, and (her first love) novels.
When not writing and editing, Ekta spends time with friends (the ones other people can see) and ponders just how she came to be so blessed by a husband who loves her and by two beautiful daughters who astound her on a regular basis.
