Editor's Notes

  1. Three-story tall banner with speaker photos
  2. Nobel peace prize winner who ended Liberia’s civil war
  3. Three false starts – back to brainstorming/outlining every time.
  4. Mystery organizer – crime in the middle – then elements – suspects, motives, clues, false clues, etc. You can make your own – just list important elements of your particular genre.
