Two events at High Point Public Library, High Point, NC:

Creating Compelling Characters: The Art of Empathy in Storytelling with Meagan Church
9:30 to 11:30 a.m.
Attention spans are limited, so how do we write characters who keep readers turning pages instead of scrolling social media? It starts with knowing whose story it is and what obstacle is about to get in their way. Join me as I discuss techniques and strategies for developing empathetic and compelling characters that engage contemporary audiences and immerse readers in the story.

This two-hour workshop includes time for individuals to brainstorm and practice techniques presented, and for Q&A. Registration is free, but space is limited.

Author Talk and Book Signing
12:00 to 1:00 p.m.
Come hear me share about the story behind the story of The Girl We Sent Away.
