All sixteen of the WCCLS member libraries are offering copies of Ritter’s title Jackaby, while supplies last, to give away to teens starting in September. WCCLS will present three engagements with Ritter for local teens in early October - two author talks and one writing workshop.
The workshop focus is Fundamental Facets of Fiction. Participants will learn about world building, character creation, pacing and more. Enjoy an engaging, interactive talk and leave with techniques and tips to boost your writing.
