On Saturday\, May 30\, from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm\, writers of all levels are invited to an engaging and immersive workshop with historical novelist Shelly Sanders\, whose powerful storytelling brings overlooked histories—and the women within them—to vivid life. \n“How to Write a Bestselling Novel\,” is designed for writers across all genres who want to deepen their storytelling and create emotionally resonant narratives. Drawing on her experience as a journalist and award-winning author\, Sanders will guide participants through the delicate balance of weaving historical detail without overwhelming character or plot. \nParticipants will take part in two in-session writing exercises focused on strengthening emotional depth through voice\, conflict\, intuition\, and dialogue.

Her forthcoming novel\, The Night Witches\, will be published by HarperCollins on November 10\, 2026. Known for her authenticity and emotional depth\, Sanders has contributed essays to leading literary platforms such as Writer’s Digest and LitHub\, and has led workshops at respected institutions including the Virginia Holocaust Museum.

SUMMARY:Muskoka Authors Association presents: FADE IN: The Art of Screenwriting (and the Bitterness of Writing One) A Screenwriting Workshop with Geordie Sabbagh
DESCRIPTION:What does it really take to turn a story into a screenplay—and survive the process with your creative soul intact? \nMuskoka Authors Association is thrilled to welcome filmmaker and screenwriter Geordie Sabbagh for an engaging\, candid\, and darkly funny workshop on the art\, craft\, and emotional reality of screenwriting on Saturday\, January 31\, Bracebridge Public Library\, 34 Salmon Road\, Bracebridge\, 9:30 am – 1:00 pm. \n FADE IN: The Art of Screenwriting (and the Bitterness of Writing One) pulls back the curtain on one of the most alluring—and misunderstood—forms of storytelling. Blending iconic industry wisdom with hard-earned personal insight\, this workshop explores what it truly means to write for the screen\, where creative passion meets brutal odds\, endless rewrites\, and the relentless pursuit of story clarity. \nEqual parts reality check and love letter\, this session is designed for novelists\, short-story writers\, memoirists\, and aspiring screenwriters who are curious about adapting their work—or starting fresh—for film and television. \nAnd yes… if you’ve ever secretly wondered whether your story could be the next Oscar-worthy masterpiece\, this might just be your first step. \nGeordie Sabbagh is a filmmaker and screenwriter known for his sharp storytelling\, candid perspective\, and deep respect for the creative process. With a career that spans writing\, filmmaking\, and performance\, Geordie brings a rare blend of industry knowledge\, humour\, and hard truth to his work with writers. \nDescribed (only half-jokingly) as “just four awards away from an EGOT\,” Geordie understands both the allure and the absurdity of creative ambition—and shares insights that are as practical as they are entertaining. \nEvent Details: \nLocation: Bracebridge Public Library\, 34 Salmon Ave.\, Bracebridge \nTime: 9:30 am – 1:00 pm \nFee: MAA Members: $20\, Non-Members: $50 \nTo Register and for More Information: Please email your contact information and etransfer payment to info@muskokaauthors.ca

SUMMARY:Detective to Author: The Realities Behind Crime Fiction  with Author\, Desmond P. Ryan
DESCRIPTION:Join Muskoka Authors Association on Thursday\, June 12 for an exciting presentation by crime fiction writer\, Desmond P. Ryan. Ryan will share stories and insights from almost thirty years of experience as a Toronto Police detective\, exploring how real-life investigations and police work have influenced his crime fiction writing. Drawing from firsthand experience\, Desmond will discuss how the details of criminal investigations—from procedure to human behavior—shape stories that connect with readers. \nThrough The Mike O’Shea Series\, a gripping police procedural\, Desmond brings the authenticity of detective work to life\, rooted in real-world details. On the lighter side\, A Pint of Trouble takes readers into the world of cozy mysteries\, where a mildly Machiavellian amateur sleuth solves murders with humor and charm. \nThis talk will offer a unique behind-the-scenes look at the balance between fact and fiction\, showing how firsthand knowledge of police work can create both intense\, realistic thrillers and fun\, character-driven mysteries. Whether you’re a writer\, reader\, or just curious about the link between fact and fiction\, you’ll walk away with new insights into the art of crafting crime fiction that resonates with authenticity\, no matter the tone. \nAs a police detective\, Ryan worked in some of the city’s toughest and most challenging neighborhoods. His experience on the frontlines of law enforcement—dealing with everything from routine investigations to high-risk operations—gives his crime fiction a raw\, unflinching authenticity. Whether he’s digging into the dark\, gritty world of policing in The Mike O’Shea Series or spinning a more offbeat mystery in A Pint of Trouble\, Desmond Ryan’s writing pulls no punches. His stories reflect the harsh realities of crime\, the toll it takes on those who fight it\, and the flawed humanity of everyone involved. Desmond Ryan’s characters—complicated\, sometimes broken\, but always real—are shaped by years spent on the streets\, making his books as hard-edged as the world they depict. \nLocation: Bracebridge United Church\, 46 Dominion Street\, Bracebridge\, lower level. Enter by door on the southside driveway. \nTime: 7:00 – 9:00 pm. Doors open at 6:30 pm \nFee: MAA Members: Free\, Non-Members: $20 \nFor more information and to register\, Please email your contact information and etransfer payment to info@muskokaauthors.ca. \nYou can also reach out for more information\, by contacting David Bruce Patterson at 705-801-8074

SUMMARY:Five Ways Writing Short Stories Help You Grow as a Writer with Author/Book Coach\, Dallas Woodburn
DESCRIPTION:Writers and book lovers are invited by Muskoka Authors Association to a special Zoom event with award-winning author\, editor\, and book coach Dallas Woodburn\, on Wednesday\, February 25 at 7:00 pm. Woodburn’s career spans more than two decades and began with publishing her first children’s book at just ten years old. During this Zoom event\, the author will share practical insights and encouragement for writers\, including: Five ways writing short stories helps you grow as a writer; Why a ten-year journey from first manuscript to first published novel can be a gift; How to create a nurturing\, sustainable writing routine through every season of life. This event offers inspiration\, honesty\, and actionable guidance for writers at any stage of their creative journey. \nWoodburn’s early passion for storytelling led to extraordinary success: her self-published childhood book sold thousands of copies and received a glowing review in the Los Angeles Times. By high school\, she was already working as a freelance writer and columnist\, with work appearing in Family Circle\, The Writer\, Writing Magazine\, and Chicken Soup for the Soul. She later studied Creative Writing in both college and graduate school\, earning the prestigious John Steinbeck Fellowship in Creative Writing. \nNearly a decade after completing the manuscript\, Woodburn’s short story collection\, How to Make Paper When the World is Ending\, is forthcoming from Koehler Books—a testament to her belief in patience\, persistence\, and creative growth. In addition to her own writing\, Woodburn now works as a book coach and editor\, helping writers at all stages bring their stories to life. \nHer debut young adult novel\, The Best Week That Never Happened (April 2020)\, was named Grand Prize Winner of the Dante Rossetti Book Award in Young Adult Fiction\, with Kirkus Reviews calling it “a dazzling\, emotional story of love\, loss\, and living in the moment.” Her most recent YA novel\, Thanks\, Carissa\, For Ruining My Life\, was published earlier this year by Immortal Works. Her third novel\, Before & After You & Me\, is forthcoming from Owl Hollow Press. Woodburn is also working on a nonfiction book\, 1\,001 Ways to Be Kind\, inspired by a year-long commitment to weekly acts of kindness\, to be published by Familius Publishing. \nFEE: \nMAA Members: Free\nNon-Members: $20 \nREGISTER TO ATTEND:  Email and etransfer fee to info@muskokaauthors.ca\nZoom information will be emailed to all registrants.
