This program is part book club, part fiction writing club. We’ll read from The Book of Three, by Lloyd Alexander and use it as a jumping off point to tell our own stories.
This month we’ll focus on the little stuff. Which details do your readers want or need, and which ones would they rather you left out?
Whether you prefer to write your story down in words or are more comfortable telling it through paint, clay, acting, or some other way, all kinds of storytellers are welcome.
If registration is full, call 501-623-4161 to join the wait list.
