Writer's Lab: Change the Names and Make Stuff Up

Imagine that book you’re writing or have always wanted to write sitting on the shelves at Barnes and Noble and being checked out by your neighbors from the Library. Whether you’re just thinking about your first writing project or working on the next chapter of your epic series, the Library’s Writing Lab will move your story along, break through writer’s block and get you ready to send that book to the editor.

Talk with Sewing Holes author Darlyn Finch Kuhn about the process of turning life experience into fiction. You never know how great your life stories can be until you free yourself to exaggerate! 

Participants will learn how to:

1.       Free yourself from worry about what people will think about what you write.

2.       Convert friends and family into characters even they won’t recognize.

3.       Ramp up the drama to turn real life into compelling, selling fiction.

Please note: you will not receive a copy of the presentation after the workshop, so be prepared to take notes!
