Get 'em while they're hot: writing workshops

Laurie Lye and Tom Rea, Equality State Book Festival co-directors, send this information on the fest's writing workshops:

There's still space available in the writing workshops Sept. 18 and 19 at the Equality State Book Festival in Casper. Space in each workshop is limited to 20 students, however, and we wanted to give you this chance to sign up before our final advertising push begins.

Watch for full-color, 16-page programs Wednesday, Sept. 10, in the Casper Journal and on Sunday, Sept. 14, in the Casper Star-Tribune. See much more on the entire festival at http://www.equalitystatebookfest.com/

Workshops cost $50 for students; $75 for others. The fee covers two, two-and-one-half-hour sessions. They're being offered by four faculty members of the University of Wyoming's Master of Fine Arts program in creative writing. All four are accomplished, inspiring teachers and fine writers.
