What:   Come join the Palouse Writers’ League for a morning of writing among the trees and grasses of the Palouse! You can write at a sheltered table, sitting in the prairie, next to a pond, or in some special spot you find down a trail. There will be opportunities to share what you have written, meet other writers, enjoy some free refreshments, and sign up to join a local writing group.

 

When: Saturday, August 15 from 8–12 noon. Come any time for as little or as much as you like. Reception and open-mic reading will take place at 11:00 at the covered picnic shelter.

 

Where: Virgil Phillips Farm Park, five miles of north of Moscow, on the west side of Hwy 95.

 

Who:     Anyone interested in writing, even if just for a morning.

All ages welcome, this is a Family Friendly event.

 

Why:     We are celebrating the 75th anniversary of the Idaho Writer’s League, by writing of course!

Writing Prompt: “On the Palouse…”      

 

Bring:    Your favorite writing supplies; blanket or chair, if you want to write in the wild.

Thorn founded A Word with You Press in 2009, having Jack-Londoned his way across the globe sleeping with whatever country would have him, picking up stray stories along with way. A litter of dog-eared passports that have taken up residence in his sock drawer are a constant temptation, but, having at last discovered paradise, it’s not likely he will stray too far from his adopted city of Prague. He has helped hundreds of writers reach their potential, including best-selling authors and award winners. He is the author of Fire in the Belly: How to write your novel with Purpose and Passion, Almost Avalon, The Boy with a Torn Hat and The Courtesans of God saga, and multiple anthologies.
