Writing Workshop

Saturday, May 16, 2009

2 - 4 p.m.    UMD Library 4th floor Rotunda

Annette Atkins, who wrote Creating Minnesota: A History from the Inside Out (Minnesota Historical Society Press, 2007), will be offering a writing workshop as part of the 21st annual celebration of the Northeastern Minnesota Book Awards.  Atkins employs a fresh approach to history, focusing on the achievements and disappointments of our ancestors, both of which led to the circumstances of our present world. Writers will learn how to incorporate authentic elements of time and place in their compositions.  The workshop will be held in the fourth floor rotunda reading room of the UMD Library.

The cost will be $35 for Lake Superior Writers members and $40 for others.  Space is limited, so pre-registration is advised.  Contact Lake Superior Writers by email.  This is a great opportunity to work with a unique writer and wonderful teacher.
