JustFiction: a Novel Building Workshop will be taught April 6- Sept. 7 by New York Times best selling author, William Bernhardt

 

OSU Arts and Science Outreach and Stillwater Public Library are making an exciting announcement in conjunction with "Just Fiction," an upcoming writing series from New York Times best selling author William Bernhardt.  One student from the series of classes will have a book released by local publishing company New Forums Press.

 

"Most writers do not publish their first book," said Bernhardt.  "For me, twenty years passed between my first rejection and my first published work.  New Forums Press is providing an invaluable opportunity by offering to publish the contest winner's book.  This is a once in a lifetime chance for area writers."  Read the rest of the story.
