Tiffin Inn Writing Workshop (with Imposter Syndrome & Unlimited Refills)

By: Arthur Franz IV Tim Goodwin
  • Summary

  • An author is published regularly. Tim Goodwin and Art Franz are "writers," the people who work and scrape and publish (on occasion) but mostly faceplant, rise, brush off, and repeat. What does it take to learn how to tell good stories? How can I fully realize my characters? How do I gather quality feedback on works in progress? What can I do to punch through writer's block? What must we do to publish work in today's media landscape? No, really. We're asking. But we are also answering! Join Tim Goodwin (professional photographer, Equity actor, improv master, stage manager, and published short story writer) and Arthur Franz IV (board game designer, Learning & Development Manager, Master of Fine Arts, & published short story writer from a loooong time ago) in the corner booth as they bare their souls for your amusement! Real talk from smart, down-to-earth people about how to create quality work. Learn from our mistakes. Get inspired. But most importantly, write.

  • Self-Publishing with E.B. Hauk
    Dec 24 2024

    Tim and Art welcome author E.B. Hauk to the corner booth to gain insights into her process of publishing her comic novel Heck McTyre, Neuromanfluencer. Join the discussion for tips on software she uses to help develop and promote the book, including Bookfunnel, BookBarbarian, BookRoar, and many others.

    The blurb for the novel: "Heck hasn't slept in days. There's no telling if he'll dream or take a trip to the Underworld, where weeks or even months pass in a single night, and every soul is unhappy to see him. He is a bridge between the living and the dead, a freelance necromancer, and an aspiring influencer. Tonight, the sheriff calls Heck to crack open an empty coffin and a hundred-year-old conspiracy before a live audience. But it's a race against the clock as insomnia ravages him, and he mines the monstrous depths of a century-old mystery." Tim and Art plan to pilot Tiffin Inn Writing Workshops online in 2025! Workshops will be low cost, high impact, 1-hour sessions with instruction and guided practice. E-mail us at TiffinInnWritingWorkshop@gmail.com to add your name to the wait list.

  • REFILL: Exploring Self-Publishing Models
    Dec 10 2024

    Art introduces a two-part series of interviews coming in the next two weeks that focuses on the ins and outs of self-publishing. Tim and Art are inviting two new authors into the corner booth to discuss their experiences with hybrid publishers and with full-blown self-publishing strategies. The conversation should be enlightening for any who want to explore what's out there in the vast, often intimidating landscape of self-publishing strategies.

    Even though Tim and Art are firmly on the record as not wanting to self-publish our own work, we see this as a service for you, the listener, should you wish to consider it. Art has actually self-published before several "how to" books on coaching flag football.

    Remember, Tim and Art plan to pilot Tiffin Inn Writing Workshops online in 2025! Workshops will be low cost, high impact, 1-hour sessions with instruction and guided practice. E-mail us at TiffinInnWritingWorkshop@gmail.com to add your name to the wait list.
