Aspiring fantasy, science fiction and comics writers ages 9 to 16 are invited to join award-winning author Chris Moriarty as she hosts “Let’s Write Fantasy,” a five-class writing series at the Tompkins County Public Library.
This workshop, which will be held from 3:30 to 5:00 PM on August 5, 9, 12, 16 and 19 in the Library’s Thaler/Howell Programming Room, will focus on the fun aspects of writing-- brainstorming story ideas and avoiding writer’s block-- and will offer insight into the writing secrets of well-known writers.
Chris Moriarty is a professional science fiction and fantasy writer, winner of the 2007 Philip K. Dick Award and author of the critically acclaimed NYPD Inquisitors books. Guest teachers will include comic book creator Barry Deutsch, author and illustrator of 2011 Eisner Award finalist, “Hereville” and Sarah Prineas, author of the critically acclaimed “Magic Thief.”
There is no charge for this program; however, advance registration is requested. To register, contact the Youth Services Department at (607) 272-4557 extension 275. For more information about Moriarty, visit www.inquisitorsapprentice.com.
