WRITERS WORKSHOP
3 rd Wedensday of every month
June 20/July 18
June's workshop
"How to sell your words"
6/20/2018
7pm-9pm
$15 in advance/$20 at the door
Do you want to write articles for websites or magazines? Do you want to find an agent for your novel? Laura will cover several areas of query writing to help you sell your first piece or polish a query letter that needs help (please bring copies if so). Bring a notebook, a pen, and your favorite magazines (if you have any laying around).
Laura Kepner founded Safety Harbor Writers & Poets in 2010 and has been working to build a strong community of writers, readers, and poets ever since. She is co-author of A Brief History of Safety Harbor Florida and has had numerous non-fiction stories published both in print and online.
She has placed in the top ten of Creative Loafing's annual fiction contest for 2017 and in 2016, when Florida's Poet Laureate, Peter Meinke, wrote: "Reading the 10 finalists in this year’s Creative Loafing Fiction Contest reassured me that the arts are not only strong in Tampa Bay, but varied, flexible, and unpredictable. .... Two of the strongest stories had especially well-developed characters. In Laura Kepner’s Walls, a mother lovingly takes care of a disabled child who only responds to bright colors, and keeps painting and repainting the child’s walls."
You must reserve your spot by noon on 5/16 to take advantage of the special rate of $15. If you would rather pay cash or by check, please stop by SHAMc no later than noon, 6/19. Walk-ins will be accepted but will pay $20 at the door and only if there are spots remaining. Thank you for understanding!
Bring a notebook and a pen or pencil. Water and soda will be available for $1.
