Making Local History Come Alive through Character Writing

Writing down our history is key to remembering it and the people that make up our history are the stars of our stories. Did your great-uncle collect matchbooks? Was your cousin’s brother’s a lumberjack-turned-Vaudeville star? Is your mother “unusual?” Create better characters in your writing by capturing in words the most engaging people you know. Join writer, songwriter, and storyteller, Elisa Korenne, in a workshop that participants rate off-the-charts and call “the best workshop of the day.” For teens and adults.

This program is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant provided by the Traverse des Sioux Library Cooperative, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
