What’s YOUR great idea? If writing is your passion, go for it! If you want to put your stories into a book, multiple, often confusing options await. Marjorie Turner Hollman is a personal historian who loves the outdoors. A native Floridian, she came north for college and snow! A freelance writer, she has appeared on Boston’s WCVB Channel 5 TV news magazine show, Chronicle, the Boston Globe, local radio and cable TV shows, and been published in local, regional, and national publications. www.marjorieturner.com To register, please email wsnmail2@minlib.net; a Zoom link will be sent to you closer to the date of the program.
