Holly Lisle's Create A Language Clinic

Are your character names lame? Do your characters all speak like you---or worse, in horrible, unreadable accents? Do you need to develop conflict among characters or people who don't speak the same language?

Pro novelist Holly Lisle walks you through the easy, fun language-creation system she developed and uses in many of her 30+ novels. Create names that fit your story in 15 minutes, develop just as much language as you need, uncover story conflicts you can uncover in no other way, and much more.

Holly Lisle's Create A Language Clinic is a funny, relaxed, and comprehensive start-to-finish course with a step-by-step process that includes worksheets, examples, and how-to advice for writers of every genre and every experience level---from absolute beginner needing better character and place names, to published pro looking for a faster, easier way add depth through language.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Holly Lisle crashed into languages head-on when she moved to Alaska at age nine---where she and the local Eskimo and Indian dialects never quite clicked. Her sole remembered sliver of Inuit allows her to ask for a cup of coffee. Sadly, she does not drink coffee.

Stints in Costa Rica and Guatemala as a slightly older kid---where she got along much better with Spanish---and years of inventing her own languages, codes, and ciphers eventually led her to write novels set in other universes, other times, and other dimensions...which makes a sort of offbeat sense if you really work hard to see it.

Holly Lisle has published more than thirty novels with major publishers in the US and around the world, (including HAWKSPAR and TALYN), is translated in a score of languages she CAN'T read, and is also well-known online for her writing classes, for one of the world's most opinionated online writing diaries
