The Medina Community Library to host a Writing Workshop
The Texas Writes Program will be at the Medina Community Library in Medina to present a program on Saturday, Jan. 25. This event is free and open to the public and refreshments will be served.
Starting at 10 a.m., attendees will hear from author Nan Cuba on how to turn personal experience into fiction. Her talk is titled “The Truth Told Slant: Personal Experience Turned into Fiction.”
In addition, author Antonio Ruiz-Camacho will explore the translation of family history and anecdotes into riveting stories in any genre in his talk “Twisting Facts into Stories: Family History in Fiction and Nonfiction.”
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 event is the fifth 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.
