What a privilege it was this last May LCW meeting to learn from attorney and copyright expert Peter Kraybill (if you missed and/or want workshop material, check out on-line links below!). Now with our last monthly meeting before summer break coming up Saturday, June 15th, we are equally delighted to close out our 2012-2013 calendar year by welcoming acclaimed regional author and speaker Linda Oatman High.
Linda Oatman High is an author/journalist/playwright (www.lindaoatmanhigh.com) who has published more than 20 books, many of them award winning. She holds an MFA in Writing from Vermont College, and was honored in England in 2012 with the Sunday Times EFG Short Story award. Linda will be sharing her popular multi-visual workshop, ”Writing to the Beat of a Different Drummer,” illustrates how attendees can glean writing ideas from their real lives.
