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!
