So, you wanna be a writer? But how does the process work? How do you take the idea for a story, make notes and write? Then what do you do with your writing when it's finished? How do you edit? How do you publish? How do you market your work? How do you advertise? Where do you go and what do you do for book signing events? There are many questions for first time and even experienced writers. Author Derek Wachter would like to invite you to come sit with him for an hour long class, having discussion around the process of what it takes to becoming a writer. Self-published, publisher, or even hybrid publishing, come get your questions answered and have discussion and I will do my best to apply my eight years of writing knowledge to use to help you take the next steps to being a writer yourselves!

Attendees will learn how to become a writer. The process from start to finished and how to market their work to the public for sale!

Before purchasing tickets for Classes, Evening Events, Investigtions or Ghost Tours, we highly recommend that you make a plan by looking at the 2026 Schedule so you can decide how you want to spend your time and to make sure you don’t purchase tickets for classes or events that overlap or cause scheduling conflicts.
