This year’s 41st annual writer’s workshop, located in the library Loggia on Monday November 11, will feature five different speakers and writing workshops.
Tim Waggoner, English professor, who has previously been the director of the event said this year’s event is a good way for people who are interested in writing, to learn more and sharpen their skills.
“What’s really cool this year is that it’s free to the public,” Waggoner said. He said that last year the event was not free and made it difficult for people to attend.
Waggoner, who is the author of over two dozen novels, will be speaking at the event this year.
“I will be doing level up, I will be able to decrease your learning curve,” he said.
Waggoner said that it is special to have the New York Times best-selling author, Gilbert King as the keynote speaker.
“[Gilbert King] is a national level writer, who was nominated for the Dayton Peace Prize,” he said.
In addition to King and Waggoner, there will be three other speakers at the event, as well as an open mike for people to share their work.
People get a chance to go ahead and read whatever they brought, he said. “You get a chance to meet other people either from the area or from Sinclair who are interested in writing too.”
Waggoner said that they try to cover all different types of writing from fiction to screenwriting.
“People can find something no matter what their interests are,” Waggoner said.
