Your Facilitator
Hello! I’m Sonja Dewing. I’m an award-winning author of the Idol Maker series and other stories. I was a NaNoWriMo liaison for 3 years, I’m author of the book The Five Minute Author: How to Write a Novel, and I’ve helped hundreds of writers get through writing their stories. I hope you’ll join me and the other writers who’ve already jumped in on this project, and get working on that book!
That’s me in the picture, signing anthology books at Books on the Bosque.
