Writing Workshop
From 10:00 a.m. until 12:30 p.m.
What were some of your favorite stories as a child? Did they tap into the sights and sounds and smells of the natural world? In this writing workshop, participants will immerse themselves in natural surroundings—through books, as they explore the Lloyd’s latest exhibit, The Gift of Wonder: A History of Nature Books for Children. Teacher, writer, and outdoors lover, Annette Januzzi Wick will present prompts to guide writers to consider a child’s point of view or to create their own nature story for children. Co-sponsored by Women Writing for (a) Change. Light snacks.
Registration required; Tuition $35, www.womenwriting.org or call (513) 272-1171.
Proof of vaccination against COVID-19 or a negative test is required upon or prior to visiting the library. Masks are required for all visitors.
Annette Januzzi Wick is a writer, teacher and community connector. She grew up in northern Ohio. She graduated from the University of Akron with a Computer Science degree yet still sighs when her cell phone doesn’t work. For a time, she made her home in the Pacific Northwest until firmly planting her feet in Cincinnati. When she’s not writing, she is walking Cincinnati’s fifty-two neighborhoods or finding and making connections in the community.
A 2008 graduate of the Feminist Leadership Academy, Annette is the founder of Three Arch Press, and has previously published I’ll Be in the Car (2006). I’ll Have Some of Yours (2019) is based on her award-winning blog, Find You in the Sun (www.findyouinthesun.com), where additional essays appear.
