The Cornwall Public Library is hosting the second annual WritersFest from April 26th to April 29th.
Nine different presentations are being offered in one exciting festival of writing. Local area authors and writers will lend their expertise during the four day event to anyone wanting to learn tips and tricks on a variety of writing disciplines. How do you research material for a book? How do you get published? Where do I get my inspiration? Who and where do I turn to get started?
These are some of the questions that will be answered at WritersFest.
This event will appeal to everyone, from the novice to the amateur looking to get started or to take the next step in their career or hobby as a writer.
Some of the speakers at this year's festival include:
- Carolyn Eva of Tri-County Literacy Council on clear writing
- Chief Librarian Dawn Kiddell on library resources for writers and authors
- Julia Lucio and Mai-Liis Renaud, co-owners of the Local Seeker, on the challenges of creating a community newspaper publication
- Author Joan Levy Early on the book business
- Author Maggie Wheeler on character, plot and setting
- Author Betty Healey on writing as a practice for personal discovery
- Denise Neilson on traditional publishing, E-books and the world of indy publishing
The whole event is free of charge but registration is required for individual sessions. A grand prize of an electronic book reader will be awarded at the conclusion of the festival amongst those who attended any one session.
