Special Event: Science Fiction and Fantasy with Rhiannon Held!
Fantastic Worlds! Alternate Times! How do authors create their worlds and characters in Sci-Fi/Fantasy? How do authors suspend disbelief and lead readers along on their fantastical journeys? Sci-Fi/Fantasy author, Rhiannon Held, will share her process in creating worlds and characters at the Willamette Writers Coast Chapter September 14 meeting at the Newport Public Library from 2:00-4:00 pm. This special event is supported by a grant from the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association.
Held will discuss how she uses her real-life work in archaeology to build her fantastical worlds and characters. She will also share her experiences with traditional and self-publishing. Bring your questions; she will be happy to answer them.
A brief networking session will preface the presentation.
This program is sponsored by a Givers Fund Grant from the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, and the event is co-hosted by the Newport Public Library.
