The Writer Whisperer April 25, 2013

Are you facing the dreaded blank page? Do you need a nudge to get through that first or sixth draft? Do you crave living proof that it is possible to survive the writer’s lot?

The latest in James River Writer’s popular Writing Show series welcomes writers out of seclusion and into the open, to share tools, tips, and inspiration on how to overcome common challenges. Award-winning young adult author Gigi Amateau, known for Claiming Georgia Tate and A Certain Strain of Peculiar, will moderate The Writer Whisperer: Therapeutic Advice for All Manner of Writerly Woes on Thursday, April 25, 2013, at the Children’s Museum of Richmond.

The panel features Eliezer Sobel, a blogger for Psychology Today and The Huffington Post and author of The 99th Monkey and Wild Heart Dancing, Louise Hawes, author of a dozen novels and two short fiction collections and teacher at the Vermont College of Fine Arts, and Valley Haggard, freelance writer and founder and teacher at Richmond Young Writers.

The Writing Show, described as Inside the Actor’s Studio meets the New York Times bestseller list, happens live in Richmond the last Thursday of every month. The host is James River Writers, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to build community by connecting and inspiring writers and readers in central Virginia.

The Writing Show is supported by ArtWorks, Richmond Times-Dispatch, Virginia Commission for the Arts, and the Children’s Museum of Richmond.
