Wednesday Webinar Series: What You Can Say Instead

Some authors over-use specific words and phrases, or choose ones they are accustomed to using, even when better choices may be available. This webinar will be an introduction to things an author might say instead of words and phrases that are over-worked, or that can be stated more effectively. This webinar will focus on things too commonly said, things said incorrectly, and resources for finding more effective words and phrases that may be little known and under-used, including some resources most people are not familiar with.

About Wayne Cusack, B.A., LL.B., M.B.A.

Wayne is a retired lawyer who has turned his hand to writing speculative fiction. He has written a number of short stories of which half a dozen have been published. In 2023 he was a finalist for the best short story award in the Aurora Awards. His first novel, Half A Memory, One Quarter Feeling, Ten Percent Intuition, is a time-travel murder mystery set in England. It is historically accurate (except for the made up parts), and covers the period from 1645 to 2139.  As of February, 2024, that novel is being prepared to go into print. In addition, Wayne is working on an anthology of some of his short stories. He also has one other novel in progress, The Chocolate Cake World, and one short story, “A Wager”, that he is considering developing into a novel, or possibly a series of novels. He also has plans for a series of anthologies, some of which have already been written or are in progress – “Damn, they’d all be done if I could convince the world to stop interrupting me …”
