Veteran author Bob Hostetler showed no surprise during the writers conference when I attended his class on nonfiction one-sheets.

“If you want to grow in your craft,” Jerry Jenkins told the conferees, “never stop learning.” He’s planning to listen to the recording of a session he missed on using Scrivener software.
