Linda Thomas-Sundstrom, author of well over 40 novels rooted in contemporary, paranormal, and urban-fantasy, returns to the SCWC with a new workshop, “The Full Story: Tackling Beginnings, Middles, and Ends That Make Your Story Shine,” tackling how to craft openings that orient and entice, middles that escalate tension and deepen character, and endings that deliver resonance and satisfaction. As our Sunday Special Guest Speaker, she’ll join Janis Thomas in conversation about transitioning from relying solely on Big Five in effort to regain control of her work and publish better independently.

Legacy for Life
Legacy. For an author, it refers to a lasting impact cultivated through written words, relationships, and professional choices. It encompasses the stories left behind and what values and themes recur in your work. Not limited to fame or sales, legacy invites a long view of a path asking not just “What do I publish now?” but “What do I want my writing life to stand for over time?”
Determination and one passionate advocate is often what it takes to be the writer you aspire to be. The 40th annual SCWC*San Diego provides an opportunity to find The One.
Your work is worth it. Your legacy demands it. Join us for an incomparable in-person adventure and start the New Year, Write!
