Aspiring young writers and avid readers, from grades 6 thru 12, will mingle with peers, published authors and book industry professionals featuring several guest speakers, followed by a writing workshop. This event will highlight the art of fiction – the short story.

Guest authors include Valerie Fioravanti, Robert Yehling and Flatmancrooked.

Meet the Author: Valerie writes fiction, essays, and prose poems. Stories from her linked collection, Garbage Night at the Opera, have appeared in North American Review, Cimarron Review, Hunger Mountain, and others. These stories have received four pushcart prize nominations and Special Mention in Pushcart Prize XXVIII.

Career Exploration: FLATMANCROOKED published its first anthology, First Winter, which included the work of Ha Jin, and a new Jorge Luis Borges translation. Flatmancrooked publishes a fiction and poetry anthology, novellas under the New Novella imprint, and novels under the HyperLimited imprint.

Writing Workshop: Robert will lead the writing workshop: What's the difference between a short story, a novella and a novel? What happens when your short story wants to become a novel? In this workshop, you'll learn some of the basic approaches of starting, finishing and writing short stories.

Robert is the author of The Write Time: 366 Exercises to Fulfill Your Writing Life, and Writes of Life: Using Personal Experiences in Everything You Write, which won the 2007 Independent Publishers Book Award., in addition to Full Flight, Shades of Green, Coyotes in Broad Daylight, The River-Fed Stone and the forthcoming novel, The Voice.
