Help Strengthen Our Partnership With Libraries . . .
We’re looking for WCYR ambassadors to lead one-hour seminars in York
region libraries. You (or a panel of speakers) would talk about the WCYR, run your seminar, and sell your books if you’re published.
For this volunteer option, you’ll get the word out about the WCYR and yourself, gain experience in public speaking, and land a solid resume credit.
If you’d like to share your insights about the craft or journey of writing, please consider this opportunity. You don’t need to be published to participate.
Please contact Rae Keen, Library Liaison at rae.keen@sympatico.ca.
Looking for a Critique Group?
If you’d like to launch or join a critique group with other WCYR members, participate in the new critique group forum thread on the WCYR
website: https://wcyork.ca/forum/the-critique-groups/
Only WCYR members can access this link.
Critique Group Organizer, Rae Keen rae.keen@sympatico.ca, will also help you make connections.
Author Kim McDougall presents a seminar on The Showing/Telling Dilemma at the Angus Glen branch of the Markham Public Library on Thursday, January 16th at 7 p.m.
“Show don’t tell” is an often heard mantra in writing. But how can you tell the difference? And how do you transform “telling” into “showing?” Finally, when is it okay to “tell?” This workshop will explore these important questions, by looking at dialogue, point of view, description, pacing and transitions, so you’ll learn to spot and fix the problem passages in your manuscript.
Please contact Ariana Ferrone at aferrone@markham.library.on.ca if you’d like to attend.
