Hone Your Writing Skills at the Troy Public Library

(TROY, MI) – The Troy Public Library is offering a terrific writing seminar in the spirit of its participation with “Everyone’s Reading,” a community wide program focused on the book “Finding My Voice” by acclaimed National Public Radio host Diane Rehm.

“Finding Your (Memoir) Voice” with Iris Lee Underwood is offered March 24, from 7-8:45 pm. Underwood is an author, poet and journalist who will shine the light on local folks who have found their writing voices and bylines in newspapers and magazines.

“Come and discuss what makes a good memoir, and perhaps try your hand at writing your own,” Library Director Cathy Russ said.

Registration is required at www.libcoop.net/troy, or call 248.524.3542. The Troy Public Library is located at 510 West Big Beaver Road.
