WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION


Whether you want to write an informational article or nonfiction book, delve into your family history, or pen a biography, your project needs to start with research.  This workshop is designed for anyone who wishes to gather material for a nonfiction work, but isn’t sure what to tackle first.
