Coming for July 11,2026
Double Header! July FCRW Workshop features Joan Griffin (Zoom only) on Literary Citizenship, exploring how writers build supportive community, plus Amber Warden on crafting emotion-driven romance hooks that sell the feeling, not just the plot. Sat 10:45am-1pm, hybrid: West Branch Library & Zoom.
June 2026 Workshop WrapUp
NYT bestselling author Ginny Myers-Sain led a double workshop packed with craft gold. First up: Author’s Voice, exploring how vocabulary, rhythm, and tone create the consistent thread readers recognize book to book, illustrated with reviews and first-page readings from her Penguin novels. Then, How to Plot a Perfect Murder covered mystery structure: hooks, four-act pacing, midpoint reversals, red herrings, and her elimination-circle method for narrowing suspects. Practical, funny, and packed with actionable takeaways for romance writers blending suspense into their stories.
