Program Description

Event Description

In certain writing circles, plot is considered a dirty word. But you can’t have a story without a plot, and an understanding of narrative structure and movement liberates rather than restricts. Join us as Author Lou Berney leads us through the ways in which a writer can start – and keep – the wheels turning.

This is one of many events happening this month for LitFest 2021. For a full breakdown of other programs, visit: www.metrolibrary.org/litfest
