Welcome to the Liberty States Fiction Writers!
We’ll help you create something magical.
The next meeting of the Liberty States Fiction Writers is on February 13th at the Edison Public Library on Plainfield Avenue.
What would your hero do if a villain held a knife to his throat?
Find out at February’s meeting. Add authenticity to your action scenes with accurate information on the Martial Arts as presented by Kathy Fawcett and Melinda Leigh. Kathy and Melinda will demonstrate techniques to get your hero/heroine out of sticky situations. They’ll give an overview of different martial arts styles, cover basic fight terminology and explain techniques your characters can use to defend themselves against punches, kicks and weapons. The workshop will also cover common pitfalls to avoid when writing action scenes.
