Righteous Writing Resources

Writing workshops are an essential part of developing as a writer. They're an opportunity to learn skills, challenge ourselves and connect with other writers. Thomas Fox Averill, author and professor of English, notes that time spent with other writers challenges our thinking.

“Being part of a community, testing ideas, even the thinking we do silently–all of these sharpen our sense of ourselves as writers,” Averill said.

At our 5th annual Local Writers Workshop on Sat, Aug 18, 8:30am - 2:30pm, you’ll learn from experienced professionals, connect with fellow authors, and leave feeling inspired to write. The following concise and informative talks on the craft and business of writing will fill the morning:

  • Publishing your book via Espresso Book Machine with Marcia Lawrence, owner of Ellen Plumb's City Bookstore
  • Writing dialogue with Marcia Cebulska, award-winning playwright
  • Hybrid publishing with R.L. Naquin, author of the Monster Haven series
  • Storytelling skills for writing with Darren Canady, award-winning playwright
  • Science for non-science-fiction with Andy Farkas, professor of English at Washburn University
  • Memoir 101 with Molly Krause, sponsored by the Kansas Authors Club

Email writers@tscpl.org for more information about the workshop. We'll see you there!

Your library also has a fantastic collection of resources on the craft and business of writing, with something for writers of every stripe.
