“Techniques and Tools to Transform Your Ideas into a Published Book” with Michael DePung

Join the St. Louis Publishers Association on June 11 for “Techniques and Tools to Transform Your Ideas into a Published Book”, facilitated by Michael DePung.

When asked about being a creative person, most people quickly disavow their abilities. Learn which tools engage the creative part of your brain. Practice techniques that can reveal hidden treasures to fill in the holes of your story and help form a completed picture for others to see and enjoy. These tools are designed for creatives to subdue their ego-powered brain and shift it to a heart-powered one, which is where true creativity begins.

This will be a hands-on working meeting for you to apply the techniques in real-time. Bring your paper/pens or laptop/tablet, and come ready to learn, write, and have fun!

Former SLPA Board Member Michael DePung is a retired educator, poet, and published writer with scores of articles on Medium. He is the author of Superhero You! Discover Self. Create Purpose., and Martin, Maya, and Me: A Brief Exploration of Social Justice. Visit: michaeldepung.medium.com.
