A note from Melody: 

For all you aspiring and working writers who wanted to attend my Writer's Workshop but couldn't - or didn't - here is the workshop on cd with handouts. The set of cd's was recorded live at the Minneapolis Workshop held in July, 2003. It contains the best of what I have to offer to anyone who wants to learn to write professionally and get published - or who has already been published but wants to learn more.
