Aspiring historical fiction writers will have an opportunity to share their talent and hone their craft, as the Tompkins County Public Library celebrates the 2011 Community Read of E.L Doctorow’s “Homer and Langley” with a free, Historical Fiction Writing Series.
Facilitated by Jill Swenson, writer, editor and president of Swenson Book Development, LLC, this series will be held in the Library’s Thaler/Howell Programming Room from 6:00 to 7:30 PM each Wednesday in September.
Participants will garner valuable tools about the genre, develop skills for merging historical events with fiction and learn valuable publishing tips from an industry insider.
Swenson has served as an assistant professor of journalism at Ithaca College and the University of Georgia-Athens. She is a freelance writer, columnist and author’s advocate.
This program is free and open to writers of all experience levels. It is best suited for those 15 and older, and advance registration is recommended. To register, contact Carrie Wheeler-Carmenatty at cwheeler@tcpl.org.

The 2011 Community Read is made possible by Cornell University and the Brooks Family Foundation.
