Crafting Your Writing: A Practical (and Fun!) Writing Workshop
Wednesday, October 30, 6:30PM
Please register- https://www.wfblibrary.org/our_events/13661
You are a writer, or you want to be. And you love your art and craft---knitting, quilting, crochet, other arts. Join us at Whitefish Bay Library as author Lynne Shaner leads this workshop on using your strength in one to serve the other.
Lynne Shaner is the debut author of Journey to Everland Bay, and has also published short stories, essays, nonfiction, and poetry. She is also an avid knitter—and knitting shows up prominently in her novel. Lynne lives in Whitefish Bay with her husband and her sweet pup, Merlin. When not writing, she can be found reading or knitting in her garden, where she grows herbs, flowers, and story ideas.
Lynne will give a short reading and her book will be available for signing.
