My next event: Writing Style and Voice

I agree with @Argent that the second graphic feels too busy/cluttered. The first graphic is more relaxed and confident. Maybe if you either enlarged or bolded the typeface on the first banner, and changed the color of the letters from black to dark blue?

As Kas says, those of us outside of the time zone are dependent on replays being available. But the topics sound great! Given the replay option, I will be there.
As for the graphic - I like the expression on the face of Woman#1 much, much better than Woman#2 - a ‘Hey, this is fun’ expression.

This sounds awesome, but I can only attend during the evenings. Virtual teaching 12 year olds cannot be pushed aside unfortunately. I am still getting through the first summit recordings!

Updated version
Dates will be added when locked down, but I’m thinking about the weekend of March 12th…

Looks great!

I personally preferred the lavender title text, though.

This new byline is better, in my opinion. ‘True’ voice and ‘Writing’ voice are different things, after all. If I understand the concept well enough, voice can and should change to suit the individual writing. So ‘true voice’ was actually not necessarily a goal for the summit for all writers. I am torn on whether I like ‘Unlock the style secrets of great writers’ more than ‘Take your writing to the next level’. I think the second one appeals slightly more to me because of my gaming. Unlocking secrets usually feels more like marketing pitch language, I think. Hard to say which has more general appeal.

I would love this, but I am away the weekend of the 12th March. If I could access the sessions during the following week I would enrol.

Yes, I would attend.

I would definitely be interested. Bring it on! :fountain_pen:

Agree with @Argent’s comments and I will attend. I would also try to add something to the image that shows how perplexing it can be to decide on voice and write dialogue. Can’t think of anything right now. An example is an image of hundreds or sticky notes all over a writer, which was used to promote Plottr software (Plottr replaces sticky notes).

As to content, I want to improve writing dialogue and would appreciate any help on that topic. Also, I do editing for writers and often find people have trouble choosing and sticking to a POV. I think writers would be interested in hearing about the pros and cons of various POVs, along with how and when to switch POV.

This sounds great! Since I’m not always able to attend the live versions, I will likely purchase the pass this time around. Looking forward to it!

Yes to the weekend of the 12th! I’m already participating in another online writing retreat the weekend before, so that weekend or any other in March works for me. And I vote for the first design—it’s good to have continuity with the same figure from the Plot Summit.

Loved the Plot Summit. Definitely interested in attending the Style and Voice Summit. As for the banners, I like the first one best.

I am interested in the free course & possible to buy it also.

Too busy.
Also tuck the ampersand in a smaller font between style and voice, open out the lettering a little.
Still think your top tagline could run the same width as the title in fewer than 5 lines. Give your tagline a bit more head room at the top of the frame.

I am interested in early registration for the all-access-pass upgrade. Thanks.
