Jan 29-31 2010 - Author and Journalist Ted Iliff Will Share Knowledge with Aspiring Writers
Posted on: Sun, 17 Jan 2010 14:06:00 +0000
Ted Iliff, an international media consultant and author of two books, will be leading three presentations at SDSU's 16th annual Writers' Conference in San Diego, CA. The conference will take place on January 29-31 at the Doubletree Hotel in San Diego's Mission Valley.
Having worked in the international arena for more than 30 years as an executive, journalist, managing consultant and educator, Iliff is often sought by organizations and companies to provide expertise on an array of topics ranging from international relations to structuring and launching global news media enterprises.
At SDSU's Writers' Conference, he will be drawing from his experiences writing his new novel, The Golden Times, to discuss the following three topics:
1. "The perils of a unique story:" How to deal with the dilemma of pitching a book to fit current issues, creating a strategy for a shotgun pitch approach, and the pros and cons of going the self-publishing route.
2. "From novel to screenplay - and back again:" With veteran screen writer Taylor Van Arsdale, this presentation will discuss the adaptation process and how to sharpen and polish a novel.
3. "Oral history in fiction - wrecking family ties for a good story:" How to collect, catalogue, camouflage and fictionalize oral histories along with a discussion on the rigors of maintaining historical accuracy in a supposedly fictional story.
"It's both an honor and a pleasure to be able to share my experiences in writing with other aspiring and accomplished writers," remarked Iliff. "Having previously attended this prestigious conference, I know and have experienced firsthand the value one can find by attending and networking with some of the leading writers, editors, publishers and agents in the business."
