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 Menard, TX event features Meg Gardiner presenting on “Killer Plots: Building Tension & Creating Conflict in Fiction” and Charlotte Gullick presenting on “Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall: Bringing a Story to Life Through the Seasons.”
We’ll start at 1:00 PM CST 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) 396-2717.
