Navigating Untold Stories: A Historical Fiction Workshop
Join Wenatchee Valley College instructor and local writer Zach Eddy in a historical fiction writing workshop on Saturday, Jan. 20, from 6-9 PM.
Explore local history at the Museum and learn new techniques to help guide you to a place of discovery, while navigating the blurry line between fiction and non-fiction. Discover what stories hide in the gaps of the historical record. What dark truths remain uncovered? Explore who gets to tell these stories and why they matter today.
This workshop is a three-hour workshop focused on all steps of the writing process. Come prepared to go where our local history leads you, and be ready to write and share. Students will look at specific examples of historical fiction to learn and discuss the genre in context with others. All genres and writing backgrounds are welcome.
Tickets are $5 for members and $15 for non-members. Registration is required and can be found here.
