If you get queasy and clammy handed before stepping up to a lectern to share your work, you will benefit from this workshop. You may also learn the difference between a podium and a lectern!

The fast-paced workshop – co-sponsored by VoiceCatcher, the Oregon Writers Colony and the Thrill of the Quill Toastmasters club – kicks off with Cindy Brown, author of the Ivy Meadows mystery series, sharing tips she learned planning and executing her two tremendously popular book launch parties.

Alexis Mason, of the Thrill of the Quill Toastmasters club, will add to the workshop with information geared to assist writers, of any genre, prepare and deliver better presentations with the help of specific exercises and insights.

Cindy Brown is a full-time writer, the author of Macdeath (An Ivy Meadows Mystery) (Volume 1) and The Sound of Murder ( An Ivy Meadows Mystery) (Volume 2). She has garnered several awards (including 3rd place in the 2013 international Words With Jam First Page Competition, judged by Sue Grafton), and is an alumna of the Squaw Valley Writers Workshop. Although Cindy and her husband now live in Portland, Oregon, she made her home in Phoenix, Arizona, for more than 25 years and knows all the good places to hide dead bodies in both cities.

Alexis Mason is a speaker, author, coach and storyteller. She holds a master’s degree from PSU and has over 35 years teaching experience. She is the owner of Present Yourself, where she offers coaching in leadership and communication skill development. She presents workshops, seminars and keynote presentations on a variety of subjects. As a storyteller, Alexis does monthly presentations to senior communities in and around Vancouver, Washington. Alexis is the author of several business and children’s books.
