The Bandera Public Library will host writing workshop
Featuring presentations from two accomplished authors
The Texas Writes Program will be at the Bandera Public Library in Bandera to present a program on Saturday, Oct. 12. This event is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served.
Starting at 10 a.m., attendees will hear from author Charlotte Gullick on how to create tangible worlds for readers through seasonal imagery. Her talk is titled “Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall: Bringing a Story to Life through the Seasons.”
In addition, author Carol Dawson will discuss shaping both non-fictional and fictionalized histories into a compelling thrust of narrative in her talk “Facts and Memories: Shaping History into Narrative.”
This program will include a discussion with the authors, and a chance for the audience to ask questions. This event is for writers and readers alike and is a terrific opportunity to hear accomplished authors speak about the craft of writing and the life of a writer.
This is the first event in the 2019/2020 season of Texas Writes, a statewide program offered by the Writers’ League of Texas and supported by a generous grant from the Tocker Foundation. Texas Writes sends accomplished, published authors into libraries across the state for presentations and panel discussions focused on the craft of writing. “This is one of the programs that we offer that I’m most proud of for its commitment to supporting the wonderful libraries that service our smaller towns in Texas and for its chief aim, to feed writers’ souls and to connect writers and readers in our communities,” Becka Oliver, executive director of Writers’ League of Texas, said.
