One of the many awesome features of this year's Albany Book Festival -- kicking off Thursday and running through Thursday, Sept. 24 -- is the opportunity to participate in free writing workshops. These workshops are presented online and are open to the public.
No preparation or prior experience necessary for these workshops. Simply register in advance and we'll send you a link to the online meeting. For the Tom Swyers workshop on September 19th, participants will be contacted in advance to submit three questions ahead of the workshop to help shape the discussion.
