The workshop lasts two hours and includes helpful writing prompts, opportunities for participants to read their work out loud to the group, (only if they so desire - promise!) a suggested reading list and handouts, publishing insight, and a personal on-site critique. The cost is $500 all inclusive, which means workshop fee, mileage, and all handouts. My work has focused on non-fiction (<i>Bootstrapper,The Drummond Girls, Wicked Takes the Witness Stand, Isadore’s Secret</i>, and <i>When Evil Came to Good Hart,</i>) and I’d like to share what I’ve learned with other writers. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><br>Her contact information: <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:Geneva'>Mardi Jo Link</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-size:8.5pt;font-family:Futura;color:#941100'>THE DRUMMOND GIRLS</span></i><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Garamond",serif'>“So pick up this book: You’ll laugh; you’ll cry; you’ll ponder . . . the fierce friendships at the heart of this remarkable story.” </span><i><u><span style='font-size:8.5pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif'>- BookPage</span></u></i><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://www.mardijolink.com/"><span style='color:purple'>mardijolink.com</span></a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><img border=0 width=765 height=990 id="Picture_x0020_2" src="cid:image002.png@01D1BFE1.8677A5B0"><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Berlin Sans FB",sans-serif'>Sylvia Merz, Director <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Berlin Sans FB",sans-serif'>Leland Township Library <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Berlin Sans FB",sans-serif'>203 E.
