Tessa Emily Hall, award-winning author of
“Purple Moon,” and
Caroline George, author of “The Prime Way
Trilogy,”
set to hold workshop for aspiring authors
at the Anderson County Museum
(Nashville, Tenn.) – The teen author duo, Tessa Emily Hall and
Caroline George, will host a writing and publishing workshop, Write Now, on October 8, 2016 at the Anderson County Museum, 202 E
Greenville St, Anderson, SC from 10:30 AM – 3:30 PM. Write Now caters to teen and adult writers, and offers inspiration
as well as step-by-step guidelines that will increase chances of publication.
Unlike
other workshops, Write Now motivates
writers to pursue author careers with realistic expectations and knowledge of
the current marketplace. Tessa Emily Hall, award-winning author, blogger and
agent intern, shatters the misconceptions surrounding the traditional
publishing realm and offers editing and pitch tips. Caroline George, two-time Georgia Author of the Year nominee,
multi-self-published author and marketing intern for Harper Collins Publishing,
offers an in-depth look at the setup of a publishing house and the process of
self-publication. Participants will leave Write
Now with a better understanding of the industry and be equipped with
writing, editing and marketing tools to assist their efforts.
Tessa’s debut novel, “Purple Moon,”
which was published while she was still in her teen years, has been vastly
praised. Actress Alyson Stoner, known for her
roles in Cheaper by the Dozen, Camp Rock and Step Up, said about “Purple Moon,” “Tessa offers a glance at the complex
and all-too-commonly dysfunctional nature of relationships--to self, to family
and peers--especially as we're learning to navigate the world on our own.
Nimbly, she also interweaves hope amidst suffering; promise amidst frustration;
restoration and wholeness among chaos and confusion; and endurance and vibrance
among the throes of life. Purple Moon feels like the perfect side-hug to my
teenage self, which reassures me I'm not alone, but knows I'm highly hormonal
and not in the mood to romanticize life’s messes.”
At fifteen years of age, Caroline
self-published the first book in her trilogy, “The Prime Way Program: Be the
Victor.” Since then, the series has gained worldwide readership and gushing
reviews from readers such as “George's world
building is stunning and character development is amazingly strong. Her
dedication to this book and characters is also not something to be overlooked.
[…] Truly an amazing story.”
From the get-go, when Tessa and
Caroline first met to discuss book-tour plans over cups of coffee, they decided
pairing their platforms would not only grow their success but encourage young
writers to pursue their life visions. Now, after two years spent strengthening
their credentials and friendship, they are ready to broaden their audience to
include adult writers.
“I’ve never had a friendship quite like
mine and Caroline’s,” Tessa said in an interview with Lisa Bergmanis of Belmont
University. “We both share a strange obsession for imaginary characters, coffee
and stories. Because of that, when we hang out, we don’t typically do the
normal best friend stuff—such as watching movies, painting our nails, shopping,
etc. (Actually, on a rare occasion when we did watch a movie, we took notes on
the plot the entire time. Ha!)”
With one teen writer’s workshop already
under their belts, complete with raving reviews from participants, the YA
author duo is ecstatic to be offering the information behind Write Now to the general public.
