Story Elements: Characterization
Writer's Workshop
Wednesday, September 18
7:00pm - 8:00pm
Main Library
The StudioLearn how to develop fleshed out characters that readers will root for.
About the presenter: Megan Montgomery is a multi-award winning author of steamy, smart, character-driven romance. Her debut novel, Well...That Was Awkward, described as "a big, juicy bite of Chesapeake Bay culture," was inspired by her homesickness for southern Maryland. She now lives among the cornfields of Illinois with her family. When she's not writing, reading, or editing, you'll find her volunteering at the library or the medicinal herd garden (or cackling over a cauldron during a full moon.) Her books have received two B.R.A.G. Medallions, the Best Indie Book Award for romance, the Indie Reader Discovery Award for chick lit, the Rudy Award for contemporary romance, and were finalists in the Page Turner Book and Screenplay Awards.
