Write for the Heights

This year, we sponsored a literacy fair in cooperation with Whitmore Library and the County Library System.  What a wonderful event!  As this year's event comes to a close, we want to invite everyone to attend the pinnacle event of the literacy fair.  This Saturday, Whitmore Library will host a conference to announce our contest winners and we will hear from three local authors.  Here is our schedule for the event:

10:00-11:00--Contest winners will be announced.  Poets will also be given an opportunity to read their work.  Don't miss this!  These poets are very talented!

11:00-12:30--Dystopian author Robison Wells will discuss his upcoming series with Harper Teen.  Rob is a well known speaker among Utahn authors, and his wonderful blog is insightful and educational--a must read for aspiring authors.  Plus, he's just a cool guy.  You won't want to miss him!

12:30-1:30 break for lunch

1:30-3:00--Bree Despain, author of the wonderful werewolf series "The Dark Divine", will share her thoughts on the craft.  I'm currently reading book 2 in this series.  I haven't really been into the vampire/werewolf craze lately, but Bree has me hooked!

3:00-4:30--Children's author Mike Knudson will share his thoughts and experiences on writing for children.  Mike has a fabulous sense of humor, which comes out in his books.  My 11 year old loves him! 

4:30-5:00--Author/event organizer Amy Wadsworth will share some tricks on how to find a critique group, editor, or writing coach--take that first step toward publication and let someone read what you've written!
