Write a Novel in 30 Minutes! Wait. Write an entire novel in thirty minutes? It’s gotta be AI, right? Artificial Intelligence? Nope. It’s way better than AI because everyone plays a part in the process. Everyone. And the results are hilarious! Why let a computer have all the fun? OLLI instructor Josh Langston, a writer with 20 published novels, has done this presentation for years. He’s worked with writers’ groups, civic and social clubs, church groups, school classes, and more. If they weren’t fun, do you think he’d keep doing ‘em? He’ll simplify the major parts of a novel and cover what makes things tick. The fun begins when the audience does the plotting. Josh manages the process, but the crowd drives it.

Bring a brown bag lunch, invite a friend, and join us for this informative, interesting, and free lecture! Registration is required.

Josh Langston

Josh Langston writes books which amuse, anger, enlighten and entertain. He regularly mines history for background material that's little known but reliably fascinating. His plots are complex, interconnected and layered with humor and suspense; his characters are rarely predictable, and even his bad guys tend to be both engaging and diabolical. A graduate of both Kennesaw Junior College, where he edited The Sentinel, and Georgia State University, where he earned a degree in journalism, Josh’s writing tastes quickly shifted away from reportage. His fiction has been published in a variety of magazines and anthologies, and both his Christmas and Western short story collections have reached the Amazon top 20 for genre fiction. Two of his first three novels reached the bestseller lists. Though he focused on historical fantasy in his first four books, Josh branched out into contemporary thrillers and currently has a half dozen such titles on the market plus another half-dozen short story collections. His eleventh novel, Oh, Bits!, was released in July, 2017. In addition to writing, Josh loves to teach. His classes on novel writing, memoir, and independent publishing are filled with older adults eager to learn and have their work perused by a pro. His textbook on the craft of fiction, Write Naked!, provides a humorous and easy-to-understand approach to the subject while imparting valuable tips and techniques. A similar volume for memoir writers, The Naked Truth!, was released in 2016 and earned an Honorable Mention in the Georgia Writers Association’s Writer of the Year Awards. The last title in the "Work Naked!" series, The Naked Novelist! debuted in September, 2017. When he's not writing, Josh is most likely editing, teaching, blogging, or helping his wonderful wife watch their amazing grandkids.
