Sure, writing workshops are great. They give you terrific detailed information that can really help move your writing to the next level.

But boy, can they be expensive! The registration fees...the travel back and forth...maybe even the cost of a hotel room for the night. Before you know it, you've spent a hundred dollars or more for the day.

Well here's something you're sure to like. It's our CBI In-Depth series. Its purpose -- to give intermediate and advanced writers the same intensive instruction that can be found at writing workshops -- but at a fraction of the price!

Our plan: develop reasonably priced workbooks packed with exercises, worksheets, checklists, charts and plenty of direct instruction. No nonsense, no filler. In other words, it's exactly the type of information intermediate and advanced writers need to take their work to a higher level in a very short period of time.

The CBI In-Depth series were created by writer, self-publisher and workshop pro Katherine Ploeger, and they deal with three of the most important -- and least understood -- aspects of the children's book: plot, character and story development.

How do you develop a truly interesting and unique story? In this workbook, Katherine tells you how to: use obstacles to develop a more compelling plot; set up a mystery; create tension; teach lessons through plot; develop conflicts, problems, and friendships...and much, much more.

Plot Workshop is densely packed with scores of specific suggestions, checklists and exercises. Work alone at your own pace, or share these exercises with your writing group. You won't believe how much better you'll be at developing great plots!

It's no secret. The basis for any book is the quality of its characters. With Character Workshop, you'll get a crash course in such vital concerns as: setting; motivation; goals; character change; physical appearance; speech patterns; family interaction; character likes and dislikes; psychological issues...and much more.

Once again, you'll find an abundance of exercises, checklists and great ideas. It would take a week-long workshop to even approach the breadth and scope of this or any CBI In-Depth workbook!
