ZIONSVILLE, IN—“How To Ramp Up Your Writing” will be the theme of a Saturday, Jan. 13, mini-workshop presented by Midwest Writers Workshop, according to Laurie Miller, local coordinator for the event.


The workshop is free and open to persons interested in learning more about writing and in furthering their writing careers. It is scheduled at the Hussey-Mayfield Memorial Public Library in Zionsville from 9 a.m. to noon, she said. Following an opening panel discussion, participants will break into interest groups focusing on different writing genres.

All leaders have extensive writing credits and also are members of the Midwest Writers Workshop committee, a Muncie-based writers’ organization that sponsors a major summer writing conference plus special events throughout the year, including mini-workshops held throughout the state.


Participants will receive $15 certificates toward the cost of attending the 34th annual writers’ workshop, scheduled in Muncie, IN, July 26-28, 2007.
