Diane presents two workshops:

"Everything You Never Wanted to Know About Taxes" covers tax issues and reporting for writers, including how to determine if your writing constitutes a business, which federal income tax forms to use, deductible expenses, how to set up a retirement plan for your writing biz, recordkeeping, the pros and cons of incorporating, and state tax issues.

"Good Humor:  How to Effectively Use Humor to Improve Any Manuscript" covers how humor can strengthen a writer's voice, add impact to manuscripts ranging from romantic comedies to thrillers, and specific humor techniques a writer can use.
