Budding authors ages 10-13 are invited to learn about the creative writing process from bestselling young adult author Pam Withers. Participants will learn how to conduct research to make their writing more authentic and how to find, approach, and get information from experts. The workshop on July 26 from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. in the ParkLane Room at the Port Moody Public Library also includes a practice session that will have young writers laughing and learning at the same time.
A former associate editor of Adventure Travel magazine, Withers has written over a dozen books about extreme sports and outdoor survival. Her workshop is jam-packed with entertaining anecdotes about her writing research. When she wrote a wilderness survival novel about snowboarding, Withers took up the sport, interviewed avalanche survivors and studied helicopter accident reports.
