At the Delridge Library Sunday, October 2, 2016, 2–4 pm:

Learn techniques to create and maintain conflict in your novel with author Karen Finneyfrock.

Stories are their conflicts. In this workshop for writers working on a novel, we will use readings, discussion, and writing exercises to explore the inherent conflicts that make up the world of our stories: conflict with nature, society, law, and conflict between people. Come prepared to write.

Karen Finneyfrock is the author of two young adult novels and two collections of poetry. She has been a teacher and Writer in Residence at Hugo House, teaches for Seattle Arts and Lectures’ Writers in the Schools program, and is the curator for the 2016 Jack Straw Writers Program
