    From Ideas to Stories at AwesomeCon 2023

    The muse. The spark. The light bulb. Often the idea of conceiving a story is boiled down to these moments of inspiration–these ideas. An idea, though, is not a story–it’s only the starting point. And the great challenge any writer faces is learning not only how to come up with these ideas, but then how to craft, build, and shape them into fleshed-out, fully formed, start-to-finish stories. Returning for a fourth year to AwesomeCon 2023, the editors and authors at The Writer’s Ally bring you a panel discussion on the process by which those original concepts grow and develop into the books, films, graphic novels, and plays–the stories–we all know and love.

    Please join us for AwesomeCon 2023 in Washington, DC on June 16th-18th, 2023. Our very own Harrison Demchick will be leading our panel of speakers discussing the finer points of crafting your story. This panel will be on Sunday, June 18 from 2-2:45 in Room 209. The panel also includes The Writer’s Ally clients William Ray and T. C. Weber. You don’t want to miss the valuable industry insights you’ll gain from being at this event.
