"The Writer's Cocoon" was birthed in early 2005 as a result of a request from Dama Riles, visionary of God's Butterflies Ministries, to have Kendra Norman-Bellamy come and facilitate a workshop for aspiring women writers. The event took place on Saturday, September 10, 2005 at the Atlanta Botanical Garden in Atlanta, Georgia. The class was highly successful and it left the attendees full, but wanting more.
A few weeks after that initial workshop, Kendra was inspired to make "The Writer's Cocoon" a regularly offered workshop. It is a power-packed, informative four-hour learning experience for aspiring and newly published authors of all genders and genres. Through it, Kendra shares information on gaining inspiration for a story, steps to writing a bestseller, how to market and promote effectively as well as pointers to assist writers in learning the ins and outs of the publishing industry.
The Writer's Cocoon has become an eminent part of KNB Publications, LLC and has expanded to include the following two specialized seminar formats:
>>> "The Ins & Outs of Understanding the Writing Process": an exhaustive workshop geared toward writers of all genres and in any stage of their craft and career. The I.O.U. Writing Process seminar is a 4-part clinic set in place to take writers, whatever phase they are in, to the next level. This class covers everything from character development and creating scenes to how to publish, promote and market successfully.
>>>"Success as a Christian Writer": a comprehensive workshop specific to those who currently or aspire to write in the genres Christian/Inspirational fiction and/or nonfiction. Learn or learn more about the process of writing, marketing, and selling inspirational, captivating, dramatic and/or romantic novels and ministerial tools geared toward readers of Christian literature.
