Lock 38 offers a series of hosted discussions with our authors on the writing process. The following are among our suggested topics:

Angels and Demons--Keeping the Conflict Hot

  • How do authors keep the pace of conflict, while maintaining balance between the good guys and bad guys?

Plotter, Pantser, or Bermuda Shortser?

  • How do authors “plan out” their stories?

Is that Me in Your Book?

  • Where do authors get their characters and the stories behind them?

Cry Me a River, but Make Me Smile

  • What is the purpose of humor and sorrow in stories and what are the pitfalls in achieving them?
