Coppell: Virtual Indie Author Day

From City of Coppell:

Writers of all kinds are invited to join the Cozby Library and Community Commons for an Indie Author event on Novemeber 7 as part of the 5th annual national Indie Author day. They will have 3 separate (virtual) events.

11 am: The Beginning. We will begin in that space where pen hovers over page; the beginning. Drawing inspiration from our favorite authors, we will dive into establishing your own writing practice, the importance of rituals, and the rules of writing. Plan on getting excited about the power of "first thoughts", censoring your internal editor, overcoming writer's block, and more! Don't forget paper and pen; we have writing exercises aimed at strengthening your writing muscles and inspiring your practice.

Noon: Author Talk Are you interested in writing and getting published? Grab your lunch and listen to one of Coppell's local authors, Miriam Shumba, talk about the writing process and how she published her books.

1 pm: Filling the Pages Beginning is one thing, filling the pages is another. We've compiled material that will help you generate ideas, build your writer's toolbox, and troubleshoot your work. You can expect fun and interactive writing exercises designed to explore memories and uncover the power of verbs. We will also touch on elements of style, point of view, editing, and more! For adults 18 and older. Registration is required.
