The Village Writers' Club of Hot Springs
Village, AR
presents, a day with ...
Laura
Parker Castoro
Seminar Title: FAMILY FOLKLORE -- Writing memoirs that capture life for fun and profit.
Writers, from scribblers to experienced, will gain insight from this prolific author
with more than three-dozen titles in print.
Who is your family historian? Most families don’t have one. Yet we all know
stories that family and friends love to tell when they get together; be it for
the holidays, for family reunions, at church functions, school reunions, social
organizations, weddings, funerals, or births. We must save our stories. If you
don’t tell your family’s story, who will?
About Laura: Laura has thirty-nine published books in print in such genres as contemporary romance, westerns, sagas, and romantic suspense. She is past president of the Writers’ Colony at Dairy Hollow in Eureka Springs, AR. She is on the Board of the Pine Bluff Symphony and was named recipient of the Arkansas Writers Hall of Fame Award for 2005. Laura is much in demand as a mentor for emerging writers. We are thrilled to have her as our workshop leader for the second time. Complete details about Laura are available at: http://www.lauracastoro.com
