Rachele Alpine, 'Canary' writer, offers tips to teen writers

Rachele Alpine—the author of the Young Adult novel, Canary—hosted a writers workshop especially for teens Saturday at the Mentor Public Library's Main Branch. 

Everyone who came to the workshop also got a free copy of Canary.
Alpine’s book tells the story of Kate Franklin, a teenage girl who is sexually assaulted by a popular student-athlete and then told by her father to keep it a secret.

In the above video, Alpine talks about Canary and what advice she would give to young writers.

If Canary piques your interest, you should consider joining our 20/30 Book Club for their March meeting.

They'll be discussing Canary and Alpine is coming to the meeting, as well.

Our 20/30 Book Club will be meeting at 6:30 p.m. on March 26 at the Don Tequila in Mentor. Click here or call (440) 255-8811 ext. 215 for more information on how you can join the fun.
