Your writing resources bundle includes the worksheets you need to help you get to know your characters and the obstacles that get in the way of finding love and reaching their goals. Explore your characters' flaws, virtues, fears and what drives them. The more you know about your main characters and those that support or hinder them, the more your reader can become a part of your story. The worksheets will help you consider what obstacles you can put in the way of love that will keep your reader turning the pages.
Also included in the bundle are 40 writing prompts designed especially for romance writers.
Planning a mystery novel is different from planning other novels because you need to create two stories about the same event. One story is about how the detective solves the mystery, and the other story is about how the murderer plans and carries out the crime. Your bundle includes 3 plot planners:
The first plot planner will help you think about the story from the killer’s point of view.
The second planner will help you map the detective’s story though the discovery of the murder
to the reveal at the end.
A third planner helps you break your story down into chapters.
Also included in the bundle are 40 writing prompts designed especially for mystery writers.

NO ONE LEAVES WITHOUT A STORY
This workshop guarantees that every participant will leave with some story ideas and perhaps even a beginning or two. Using a variety of writing starters, participants will fill up their creative reserves with hands-on brainstorming and creativity.
GREAT BEGINNINGS
Good stories need a great beginning that captures readers’ attention and encourages them to turn to the next page. Participants will learn what makes a story opening work--and what doesn’t—and they’ll also hear examples from authors who use the techniques taught. Participants will have the opportunity to write and share their own beginnings.
SELLING YOUR SCREENPLAY
Selling a screenplay can be even more challenging than writing one, but with knowledge and the right tools, it is possible to take a written script to the big screen. This online workshop provides participants with a deeper understanding of the film industry as well as practical tips for getting your screenplay noticed. Topics include the following: copyright, loglines, how to find producers, query letters and more. Whether you have a completed screenplay or just an idea, this workshop can equip you with the skills needed to take your story to the next level.
HE SAID. SHE SAID. – WRITING GREAT DIALOGUE
This hands-on workshop equips writers with techniques for creating “fat-free” dialogue that develops characters and moves the plot along. Participants will write two unique scenes of dialogue by the end of the workshop.

“Heather’s wealth of experience and detailed understanding of the writing process made a huge difference to our students’ creative writing in our short story unit this year. Her workshop on starting a story helped the students find a natural and easy way into their own writing, allowing them to go beyond that first hurdle of “Where do I begin?” Once they were developing their stories, Heather’s workshop on writing dialogue gave students powerful tools to help them use dialogue to show rather than tell. The results were clear in the quality of our students’ finished stories and in the sense of satisfaction they showed in those stories.”
David Newman, Chair of the Arts, St. John’s-Kilmarnock School
“I would also like to let you know that when we did an end-of-the-year review with our students, many students identified your workshop as a highlight of the course.”
Jon Krys, Eastwood Collegiate
“I attended the first period Seminar. I just want to thank you for coming in today, because I really learnt a lot about how to better my writing skills in flash fiction and better ways to edit my writing. You were very kind and you seemed really talented. It was a pleasure meeting you.”
Student, Eastwood Collegiate
“As a visiting instructor and a seasoned veteran of the world of writing and publishing, Heather Wright spent some very constructive time with several grade 11 ENG3U classes at Ridley College last fall. She engaged the students with her understanding and instruction of how to naturally integrate the use of dialogue in short stories. What stayed with me, their teacher, with regard to Heather’s lesson was also her ideas concerning how students handle character: ‘The sooner we get to know your character, the sooner we get to care for him/her.’ Good advice, indeed. Heather’s short story workshop was excellent and very beneficial for all our budding writers.”
Andrew Leach, Ridley College, Holder of the Cronyn Chair
“She is an ideal instructor for library programs; creative, organized, funny and always prepared. Through her years of experience, Ms. Wright has developed an ability to empower youth in a way that is meaningful and impactful. She is personable and authentic; always willing to go the extra mile if someone needs her help. Participants in her workshops are quick to provide Ms. Wright with thanks and gratitude for her insights and encouragement. At the library, it is common for us to receive positive feedback from parents crediting Ms. Wright for sparking an interest in creative writing in their children.”
Kevin Page, Teen Services Librarian, Kitchener Public Library
“Heather did an amazing job promoting the love of reading during our Fiction Festival. The students were engaged in learning about the writing process.”
