The Ripley County Reads Author Fair is an opportunity for the public to meet with 25 regional authors, ask questions about their books and the writing process, and purchase their books. This year's author is Kenneth Woods, AKA “KennyFresh,” a spoken word artist, writer, poet, and published author. He has performed in the Midwest as well as in various states throughout the U. S. His well traveled experience as a child, Hawaii born with naval parents, influenced his ability to adapt, refocus, and reconnect. His website is www.refresherpoint.com/. He will perform at 10am. You don't want to miss it! Kenny Fresh performance at 10:00am. Meet and Greet with the regional authors at the library from 10:30 - 12:30pm. STORYTIME with Gena Stonefield and her DOG Wenli at 11:00am. Following the fair at 1:15pm we will host a FREE Writer's Critique Workshop. What is a Writer's Critique Workshop? In a writer's critique group, members typically gather to share their works-in-progress with peers for constructive feedback. Each writer takes turns presenting their piece, while others listen, noting strengths and areas for improvement. Discussions focus on elements like plot, character development, writing style, and overall impact. The atmosphere is collaborative and supportive, helping writers refine their craft through constructive criticism. The first 50 people to arrive will receive a Swag Bag. View the day EVENTS here.
