Call for Articles
The Georgia Authority is a submission based newsletter that keeps readers informed of current events and author news, provides useful resources like contest announcements, and features articles on writing tips and techniques. Click here to read the guidelines.
Jessica Handler, author of Braving the Fire, will share with attendees her experience in writing about grief and trauma. While retelling a painful or otherwise traumatic past can be a cathartic experience, workshop attendees will also learn ways to communicate these experiences in a way that creates a powerful connection with the reader.
This workshop will be held at the Decatur Public Library and is free and open to the public.
