Write the Story Only You Can Tell with Award-Winning Author, Kelly Starling Lyons

Thursday, March 5 @ 6:00pm

In each of us, there are stories waiting to be told. In this session, Kelly shares her journey to publication and how her life informs the stories she creates. The audience will receive tips on mining their lives for ideas, using their senses to fill stories with meaningful detail and showing instead of telling. Readings and a Q&A are part of this inspiring program.
