The Louisiana Book Festival will offer several WordShops on Nov. 9, 2018, half-day writing workshops on a variety of craft and book marketing topics at the State Library of Louisiana in Baton Rouge. The courses are designed for people writing fiction or nonfiction and this year’s “book business” WordShop focuses exclusively on self-publishing.
The classes will be held the day before the annual Louisiana Book Festival on Nov. 10 in Baton Rouge.
The WordShops are:

Joshua Wheeler – Remixing Your Roots: Writing About Home with Accuracy, Originality, and Plenty of Imagination
1 p.m. – 4 p.m.:
Jonathan Evison – Your Partner, The Reader: Exploring the Reader/Writer Collaboration
