Workshop on YA Fiction
Bonnie Ferrante
Northwestern Ontario Writers Workshop (NOWW) will be offering a free workshop entitled Writing young adult fiction.
The facilitator will be Bonnie Ferrante. Bonnie is a hybrid author. Her
short stories, newspaper articles and columns, and novels have been published
traditionally. She has begun simultaneously self-publishing novels and picture
books and is doing her own illustrations.
She received an Ontario Arts Council
Writers Works in Progress grant to complete a YA paranormal historical which
will be published by Tradewind Books in British Columbia.
"Desiccate:
Sphere of Vision Book One," her most recent YA book, was completed with
the support of an OAC Northern Arts grant.
She was a grade school teacher for
thirty-three years, ten of those as a teacher-librarian.
Her work has been
described by Gordon Korman as "hauntingly believable", Richard
Scrimger as containing "genuine surprises", Anne Coleman as
"effectively told", and Angie Abdou as "insightful and
emotional". Fred Stenson wrote "this author has exciting gifts...what
a talent."
Three participants will win a
critique by author Michelle Krys.
The
workshop will be on Tuesday, January
20th, 7:00-9:00 p.m. at the Waverly Library, 285 Red River Road. No need to
register.
