Writing presenters and workshops
by Kat Boyer 07 Aug '18

07 Aug '18

Hi everyone, We are looking to get a writer's presentation and workshop here at the BHPL and I was wondering if any of you had suggestions of authors whom you have worked with for this sort of event? We do a local authors and illustrators reception every year, and I want to improve upon it by having a presentation and workshop for our budding writers in the community. We want to help them hone their skills and get ready to possibly publish their works. Kat Boyer Director Benton Harbor Public Library 213 E Wall St. Benton Harbor, MI 49022
