"CHILDREN'S WRITERS E-NEWS" for this week

February Workshop in the CHILDREN'S WRITERS RETREAT.

Come and post your questions about "Researching Historical Fiction" -- Our workshop leader, Kim Cory will share from her experience at writing local history into her fiction. Historical fiction (and even "alternate history" where the writer takes real historical people and events and gives them a hard twist) depend upon strong research. Author and ICL instructor Kim Cory gives us help in tracking down those sources that make history live for us, so we can make it live for our readers. Be sure to check in and get help.

February 8-10, 2010

Kim Delmar Cory was born in Muskegon Michigan and frequently writes about Michigan history. She developed a passion for teaching after her Master's degree and started teaching Writing classes part-time at Lansing Community College where she still teaches and advises part-time today. She also enjoys school visits where she can share her love of Michigan history and writing with young people. To learn more about Kim and her super books, check out http://www.kdelmarcory.com/

You can post questions during the open workshop days or email them to webeditor Jan Fields.
