Great program planned

"Words are sacred. They should be treated with respect. If you use the right ones in the right order, you can nudge the world a little.

-- Playwright Tom Stoppard

Do you like to write?

Would you enjoy the opportunity to learn from professionals?

Would you enjoy spending a few hours with others who share your interest in writing?

Three good questions - one easy answer!

The 25th North Iowa Writers Workshop will be held on Saturday, Sept. 6, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Mason City Public Library.

This year's speakers include:

 John Skipper, newspaper reporter and columnist and author of 14 books.

JoAnn Lower, storyteller who will inspire you to make your own stories come alive.

Retired Judge Gerald Magee, a master at writing and teaching the art of writing short, short, short stories!

The day will be filled with discussions, fun in-class writing exercises and plenty of time for you to ask questions and receive guidance.

All of this for a $10 registration fee. Send your check to North Iowa Writers Workshop, 707 Sixth Street SE, Mason City, Iowa, 50401.
