SUMMARY:Character and Plot\, Plot and Character: A One-Day Masterclass with James Patrick Kelly
DESCRIPTION:You’ve written the pages. Maybe lots of them. Maybe you’ve even sent your work out into the world. \nAnd yet—something isn’t catching fire the way you hoped. \nWhat separates stories that work from stories that truly ignite? \nPublished writers don’t rely on talent alone. They use specific techniques—practical\, repeatable methods—to build characters who feel alive and plots that move with purpose. On April 25\, 2026 (10:00 AM–4:00 PM)\, award-winning writer and editor James Patrick Kelly will pull back the curtain and share the craft tools he’s refined over decades of professional storytelling. \nThis intensive masterclass focuses on the two foundations every story stands on: character and plot—and how they drive each other forward. \nWhat You’ll Learn: \nMorning Session: Character \n\nHow to build characters who feel human\, complex\, and emotionally compelling\nTechniques for creating protagonists and supporting characters who belong organically in the story world\nHow character desire\, fear\, and choice generate narrative momentum\n\nAfternoon Session: Plot \n\nHow plot emerges naturally from character trouble and complication\nStructuring a story from a strong opening hook through a purposeful middle to a satisfying ending\nDiagnosing sagging scenes\, stalled middles\, and endings that don’t land\n\nWhat You’ll Walk Away With \n\nClear\, usable strategies for strengthening characters and plot immediately\nTools to revise with confidence\, not guesswork\nA deeper understanding of why stories stall—and how to fix them\nTwo of Jim’s craft essays on character and plot\, emailed in advance so you arrive grounded and ready to work\n\n\nYou and Your Characters first published in WRITING SCIENCE FICTION AND FANTASY\, ed by Gardner Dozois\, St. Martins Press\, 199\, and\n\n\nThe Three Laws of Great Endings first published in POCKET WORKSHOP\, ed by Tod McCoy and M. HUW Evens\, Hydra Press\, 2021\n\n\n\nA shared vocabulary and framework you can apply to every future project\n\nMasterclass Details: \n\nDate: Saturday\, April 25\, 2026\nTime: 10:00am – 4:00pm\, includes continental breakfast and lunch from Popovers in Epping.\nLocation: The Green Center\, Room GC-102A\, Southern NH University\, 2500 N. River Rd.\, Manchester\, NH – specific directions\, parking info\, and campus map will be emailed to participants 1-2 days prior to the event.\nCost: $225.00 for Members/$275.00 for Non-Members\nTo Register: https://nhwp.app.neoncrm.com/event.jsp?event=2354&\n\nAbout the Instructor\nJames Patrick Kelly has won the Hugo\, Nebula\, and Locus Awards and published over a hundred stories translated into eighteen languages. His work includes The Promise of Space\, Mother Go (Audible Original)\, and King of the Dogs\, Queen of the Cats. He is a longtime columnist for Asimov’s Science Fiction Magazine and recently retired after 15 years on the faculty of the Stonecoast Creative Writing MFA Program at the University of Southern Maine. He is also co-editor of multiple landmark science fiction anthologies. \nIf you’re serious about leveling up your storytelling—and want insight from someone who has spent a lifetime mastering and teaching the craft—this is a day you won’t want to miss. \nWhat Past Participants Are Saying:\n“James Patrick Kelly loves what he does and does it with the skill that comes from years of dedication to his craft. His teaching\, like his stories\, gets straight to the crux of the story\, his or yours: what’s happening\, why\, and why does it matter. He respects the quest to tell a good story and is generous in his support of those who engaged in it. He knows how to get over\, around\, and through challenges. He brings out the best in us\, always. His enthusiasm is contagious.” — Rebecca Rule\, humorist\, speaker and author \n“James Patrick Kelly is not only an accomplished\, award-winning author but also an excellent teacher who offers clear and immediately helpful tips and strategies for your writing. I still use Jim’s advice about the necessary information to communicate in the first paragraphs of your story\, as well as his insights on story structure and momentum\, that I learned from his NHWP classes and Boskone panels. Jim is also a great one-on-one communicator who can give invaluable feedback on your individual project. Don’t miss out on what he has to say! — Jeff Deck\, author of The Shadow Over Portsmouth series and The Great Typo Hunt \n“Jim Kelly is an insightful and engaging instructor whose wealth of knowledge can help any student hone their skills in fiction. His attention to detail and ability to unpack the elements of the craft opened up new potential in my work. Highly recommended!” — Elaine Isaak\, author of adventure novels \n“James Patrick Kelly\, self-described as the most famous science-fiction writer you’ve never heard of\, is a born teacher and mentor. Even a casual conversation with him is a master class in genre and craft.” — R.W.W. Greene\, Science-Fiction Writer\, Recovering Journalist and Teacher \n“Back in 2022\, when my query letters went unanswered\, I turned to James Patrick Kelly for the unvarnished truth-telling I needed. “Your query sounds like a history book\,” he said\, “But you wrote a novel!” Jim pushed me to remember that novels are\, above all\, stories about people: their passions\, their flaws\, their relationships\, their triumphs. Yes\, the time period\, the setting\, and myriad other details matter – but we read novels because we’re curious about people. Jim’s words came back to me\, again and again\, as I revised and resubmitted my manuscript dozens of times\, over the next three years. Now\, I’m a traditionally published author of the historical novel\, “The Shopkeeper of Alsace\,” which is selling well. Writers sometimes need tough love\, and Jim gave it to me. I’m forever grateful.” — Laura Knoy\, Author\, Speaker\, Moderator\, Award-Winning Journalist

SUMMARY:Member Marketing Open Forum for April
DESCRIPTION:Marketing Open Forums are 90-minute\, lightly facilitated\, discussion-driven sessions designed to meet writers where they are right now. Rather than a fixed presentation\, these forums center on real questions\, real challenges\, and real experiences brought by members. The goal is collaborative learning—drawing on peer insight\, shared problem-solving\, and guided expertise to help participants leave with clarity\, perspective\, and practical next steps. \nThese sessions are intentionally flexible and responsive. Topics may range from platform choices and promotion fatigue to event ideas\, visibility opportunities\, pricing questions\, or feedback on works-in-progress from a marketing standpoint. You don’t need to come prepared with a polished question—curiosity and honesty are more than enough. \nWhat to Expect\n\nLive\, member-driven discussion focused on current marketing challenges and opportunities\nPeer insight and shared experience from writers at different stages and across genres\nLight facilitation and guidance to keep conversation productive\, inclusive\, and on track\nActionable takeaways shaped by real-world examples—not theory or one-size-fits-all advice\n\nThese forums are ideal for writers who want space to think out loud\, test ideas\, learn from others\, and feel less alone in the marketing side of the writing life. \nEvent Details\n\nDate: Tuesday\, April 21\, 2026\nTime: 9:00 – 10:30 am\nLocation: Zoom Room\nCost: Free for members\, not yet a member\, JOIN for immediate access.\n\nAccess Zoom Room link>>
