290 First Street North, Gravenhurst If you've ever dreamed of becoming a published author, this workshop is for you.

Bring your questions. Come and get ready to be published! Workshop leader Brian Henry has been a book editor and creative writing teacher
for more than 25 years. He has helped many of his students get their first book
published and launch their careers as authors. Special Option: Participants are invited to bring a draft of a query letter you might
use to interest an agent or publisher in your book. You don’t need to bring anything,
but if you do, 3 copies could be helpful. Fee: $39.05 plus gst = $41 paid in advance or $42.86 plus gst = $45 if you wait to pay at the door The Sudbury Writers’ Guild presents...
