Texas Writes is a statewide program that brings accomplished authors to rural libraries for a half day of presentations and panel discussions focused on the craft of writing.
Our Junction, TX event will feature Stacey Swann presenting “Past Page One: Moving Fiction Projects Forward” and Rachel Starnes presenting “Problems of Memory in Memoir“.
We’ll start at 10:00 AM CDT with our presentations and we’ll conclude with a conversation with both authors, moderated by WLT Executive Director Becka Oliver.
We hope to see you there!
Each event is free and open to the public. Refreshments are provided. To pre-register for this event, contact the library at (325) 446-2342.
