Hi Connie,

There was a workshop that had been scheduled to start on January 25th called BEWARE OF THE BACKSTORY DUMP. Unfortunately the workshop was cancelled due to low registration.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Just my luck! If I had registered any sooner, would it have helped? Please let the course writer know that SOMEONE was interested, and I'd sign up again if possible. I feel bad for her now that I know this and, of course, bad for myself because I needed to know what she was going to teach.

Thanks for answering and please relay my message to her, so she doesn't feel badly.

Had a thought while I was at the gym today. I can't remember the instructor's name for the Back Story class. Didn't write it down because I didn't think I needed to. Is that possible to find out AND possible for me to contact her directly? Maybe she and I could make some sort of arrangement. I don't know if Savvy Authors gets a cut from the writer's fee.

Hope I get an answer.

Thanks,
Connie Parrott
