Frontier Art Center presents a workshop for writers taught by Paty Jager, Harney County author of more than two dozen novels. The workshop will be held Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 16-17, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The cost is $75 for the weekend, and it includes box lunches.

Jager’s two-day workshop will be hands on: Participants are to bring their story ideas, their main characters, and an open mind. She says if the idea of plotting out a full book or story gives you the hives, she’ll show you a way to “find your story” before you’re 100 pages in and realize it isn’t going anywhere.

This workshop is meant to give participants a way to discover the genre for their story, find the setting, flesh out their characters, and by the end of the workshop, hopefully, where to start the story and the ending they want to be writing toward.

Jager is the author of more than 30 novels of murder mystery, western romance, action adventure, and Native American fiction. She has a RomCon Reader’s Choice Award for her Action Adventure, received the EPPIE Award for Best Contemporary Romance, and a Paranormal Lorie Award for her Native American fiction. Jager has taught workshops at national and regional writers’ conferences, as well as workshops online, and at elementary and middle schools. She and her husband raise alfalfa in Princeton.
