I’ve updated my article, “Three Things Every Writer Should Know About Copyright Law,” and posted it on my website at tbodwell.com. The article covers the basic concepts of how a copyright is created, what is copyrightable and fair use.
I’ll be adding more articles for writers in the future, so continue to check back.

Athena Workshops presents
Creating the Yummy Hero
With multi-published author, Teresa Bodwell
February 2-13, 2009
Great heroes are like chocolate–luscious, good for nibbling and available in a variety of fillings. Using examples from books and movies, the workshop starts with the basic testosterone driven male in search of the hero within. Whether he’s a bad boy or smooth-talking charmer, a reluctant hero or a take-charge warrior every hero must have strength, compassion, determination, courage and the flaws that make him human. The author can mix, blend and measure these traits to make her hero unique.
This workshop looks beyond the Alpha/Beta debate and focuses on the techniques writers must use to portray a hero who is satisfying to his heroine and, in turn, to the reader.
Participants will have the opportunity to submit assignments for critique in each of four areas: physical description, mannerisms, dialogue and love scenes
Cost: $20.00
