JUNE 1, 2019 MEETING
Gina Ardito: Stealing from Hollywood
Gain a deeper understanding of your characters using method acting. By employing the same ideas used by some of the world’s greatest actors and actresses, you’ll learn how to write characters your readers want to know, love, and root for!
Gina Ardito is the award-winning author of more than twenty romances in contemporary, historical, and paranormal sub-genres. She’s a hybrid author, currently published by Montlake Romance, Amazon Encores, and independently. In 2012, she was named A Woman of Outstanding Leadership in Publishing by the IWLA (International Women’s Leadership Association). That same year, she launched her freelance editing business, Excellence in Editing, and now has a stable of award-winning clients, as well. She’s hosted workshops around the world for writing conferences, author organization chapter meetings, and library events. To her everlasting shame, despite all her accomplishments, she’ll never be more famous than her dog, who starred in commercials for 2015’s Puppy Bowl. You can learn more about Gina on her website or you can find her on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
