Telling Your Story Writing Workshop
by Thomas Moore 02 Mar '18

02 Mar '18

Earlier this summer we hosted a 2 hour writing workshop by Lansing area author Kevin Fitton. Since then several of our patrons have contacted me to rave about the workshop. If you are looking for a writing instructor you can contact Kevin at kevinrfitton(a)gmail.com. More info can be found at: http://www.kevinfittonwriting.com/ Thomas Moore Adult Services Librarian Delta Township District Library >From Kevin's site: I offer a workshop called, "Telling Your Story." Geared toward those who have a story they want to tell but don't know how to put it together, this workshop is appropriate for beginning writers who want to learn about the basic components of a story and how those components fit together. *"The Telling Your Story Workshop provides excellent instruction on the craft of storytelling. In this workshop, Kevin breaks down the art of writing into specific components with concrete examples and exercises. This class inspired me to take an idea that I had rolling around in my head and make it into a story that will interest my readers."* *-Sonya Schryer Norris*
