Program Description
Event Details
Join us for a writing workshop with award-winning Iowa author, L.T. Thompson! Learn about developing characters-- what draws us to certain characters and makes them compelling. Create a character from scratch or keep developing a character that you are already working on!
Registration is optional but encouraged so you can receive a free copy of L.T. Thompson's YA book, Devils Like Us! Register by April 26th to guarantee a copy.
Lin / L.T. Thompson writes stories about queer kids and teens discovering themselves and having adventures. They’re a proud library worker and the author of two books for middle-grade readers, The Best Liars in Riverview and The House That Whispers (Little, Brown Books for Young Readers), and one for young adults, Devils Like Us (Bloomsbury). They grew up in Kentucky, spent a decade in Boston, and now live in Iowa with their wife and cat. When they’re not writing, they enjoy picking up new hobbies and letting their interests cycle like the tides.
