Imagine that book you’re writing or have always wanted to write sitting on the shelves at Barnes and Noble and being checked out by your neighbors from the Library. Whether you’re just thinking about your first writing project or working on the next chapter of your epic series, the Library’s Writer's Lab will move your story along, break through writer’s block and get you ready to send that book to the editor.
STORYTELLING 101: Understanding Fiction's Key Elements

Workshop schedule:
