THERE ARE CONFERENCES . . . THEN THERE ARE CONFERENCES

Hallelujah, I'm back at my big girl keyboard, in front of
my grown-up monitor, with my ergonomic mouse, in my delicious,
broken-in swivel chair. I just returned from another conference,
and as usual, I run inside to jump on the computer to prepare
another round of newsletters or meet a deadline. Today it's
the newsletters, and of course, the only thing filling my
mind is the people and experiences of the conference I just
left.

I've never sampled this type of conference before . . . and
I wholeheartedly loved it. The place was St. Simon's Island,
Georgia, on the coast, at a Methodist retreat called Epworth
By the Sea. It was not a religious event, but there was still
something reverent about the setting that made everyone want
to be wonderfully civil, sweet, and downright pleasant.

The organization is the Southeastern Writers Association,
and the group is quite tight-knit, but far from anything
corps d'elite. The attendees numbered 52, and they've had
as many as 100. They like it that way, intimate.

The sessions do not overlap, but instead, everyone attends
one speaker's presentation at a time. At first blush, you'd
think that wouldn't work. After all, I don't write poetry.
I don't write short fiction. I cringe at the thought of
writing memoir.

However, once I sat in on the sessions and listened, thinking
I was going to check email on my new, Mother's Day Motorola
Xoom notepad, I caught myself taking notes. Oh yes, that
comment applies to my novel writing. Oh my goodness, I could
blog about that remark. OMG, never thought of editing that
way. The quality of speakers was as good, and I dare say
better, than I've seen at conferences of 300 and 400 people.

And each faculty member remained available for 15-minute
one-on-one advisory moments . . . at no charge . . .
throughout all four days. Yep, that's right. I said four
days. They started at 8:30 AM and ended at 4:30 PM. They
weren't strict about attendance, in case you did want to
play hooky and stroll the coastal scenery with live oak
trees dripping with Spanish moss, hanging alongside the
Frederica River leading to the Atlantic Ocean just a mile
or so away.

Amazingly, by the third day, I noted a fascinating trend.
Attendees were teaching each other. The camaraderie grew
to such a level that you could barely tell the faculty
from the students. Everyone shared successes, tricks,
and rejection. And on open mic night, everyone read. Oh
my gosh at the talent I never imagined.

Just one agent, too. One lone agent that everyone adopted.
She kept commenting on how nice people were in the South.
She met with anyone and everyone . . . all day long.
Again, no charge. If there wasn't another session behind
your 15-minutes, then you stayed 30. It didn't matter.

I understand large conferences have to be handled
differently, but I strongly suggest you consider sampling
all types of conferences. What you find at one you will
not find at another. And sometimes you'll find that the
organization of the event, regardless of the size, makes
a difference. But I saw something here that I've never
seen before . . . nobody was in a rush to leave when it
was over.

WORDS OF SUCCESS


"There's only one corner of the universe you can be certain of
improving, and that's your own self."

~ Aldous Huxley ~





~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SUCCESS OF THE WEEK
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Dear Hope,

Just to say that your advice regarding not settling for less
and not taking the easy, lazy way is spot on. I wish I'd been
subscribed to your blog years ago when I first started writing -
it would have saved me many a poor decision!

In other news, I've just discovered that I'm the winner of the
'Inspired by Tagore' poetry competition that Sampad ran recently,
and you featured in your listings. There were 1400 entries from
37 countries, and I win a free copy of the anthology plus £300
for my poem, Song Necklace. I'm still a bit shaky in the knees
about this - but very happy!

This is my fourth poetry prize this year and my second outright
win in the last two months. May I quickly plug my book?! It's
called 'Contains Strong Language and Scenes of a Sexual Nature'
and is available from Amazon.co.uk . And I didn't self-publish it
and it didn't cost me a penny, because I didn't want (and couldn't
afford!) to do that - so I waited until I found the right
publishing fit.

My advice to writers and would-be writers is: listen to Hope
and to other writers you admire, and learn all you can from them.
And if there's something you really want for your writing, at
least have a go at it before settling for less. Reach for the
stars, and sometimes you catch one.

Best wishes,

Cathy Bryant

ARTICLE

Creating a Narrated Book Trailer

By Laurie Jacobs

I wanted a book trailer to promote my third picture book,
Silly Frilly Grandma Tillie, illustrated by Anne Jewett,
which was released March 1, 2012 by Flashlight Press. Many
trailers are limited to images and text and background music,
but my intended audience for the trailer includes young children
who aren't readers. For them, my trailer needed a narrator.
Fortunately, there are two applications already on my MacBook
that can be used to create voiceovers: iMovie 08 and Garage Band.

There were two books I consulted before undertaking the creation
of the trailer: Katie Davis's ebook, "How to Promote Your
Children's Book" and Darcy Pattison's ebook, "The Book Trailer
Manual". My goal wasn't to replicate the text of the story in
the trailer, but to give viewers a feel for the characters and
the plot in a very short space of time--an oral summary. The
publisher's blurb for the book was a helpful starting point but
it was directed to adults. My script needed to be more child
friendly and shorter. Both Davis and Pattison recommend keeping
trailers to a minute or less; Pattison says images should not
be on screen for more than five seconds.

The final (I thought) version of the script read like a mini-
movie--for each "scene" was a visual image (one of Anne Jewett's
fabulous illustrations), followed by the corresponding voiceover
and sound effects.

There are free sources for music, images and sound effects, but
the best quality must be purchased. Pattison gives a list of
sources. Purchasers must be careful about the rights they are
buying--watch for those that are for a limited time especially
as trailers may circulate online indefinitely. I purchased music
from http://www.audiojungle.net and sound effects from
istockphoto.com. iMovie also has sound effects built in.

For those who are technologically challenged, like me, the
website http://www.lynda.com is a good source for tutorials
on using iMovie and Garage Band--a month of lessons was well
worth the twenty-five dollar fee.

Recording voiceovers in GarageBand is relatively simple--follow
a few steps and controls will appear with record, play and
rewind functions that operate like any standard recording
device. Though the editing options on GarageBand are much
more detailed, even a non-techie like me could easily shorten
or remove sections of audio clips. The greater challenge was
getting my voice right. Writing each line of script on a
notecard and taping the notecard to the top of my screen was
helpful, as were underlining the words I wanted to emphasize
and indicating whether my voice should rise or lower at the
end of a line (professional voice artists definitely deserve
respect).

Despite all this work, when the audio was incorporated into
iMovie, there was a major problem--my audio still took up too
much space. I eliminated some sound effects and some spoken
lines. To more easily match the length of the narration with
the corresponding image, I recorded the voiceovers directly
in iMovie. This again was simple to do--select the microphone
image and click on the record button. There is a three second
delay until the recording begins. Repeating the first word of
my line several times during this delay helped eliminate
awkward pauses and throat clearing noises when I began speaking.

The process of creating a narrated book trailer for the first
time took many hours, but it was well worth the effort. I
learned how to make podcasts, how to edit video clips, how
to combine images and sound. Trust me, if I can do it, you
can too!

BIO
Laurie Jacobs - www.laurieajacobs.com

Kirkus Reviews calls SFGT a "capricious tale
that will have young girls wishing for a silly grandma
just like Tillie, especially if she can hang a
spoon from her nose."

Grandmaideas.com says SFGT is "a delightful, delightful book."
