Finding the
Courage to Write the Book Inside You
Using her experience as
an author and educator, Anika Nailah will
lead you through a series of exercises to
help you gain the courage and knowledge to
write the book you've always thought about
writing, but didn't know how. Come with questions
and an idea. Leave with tools and a plan.
Anika Nailah is the author
of Free and Other Stories,
a collection of short stories published by
Doubleday. She is also the Founder/Director
of Books Of Hope, a literacy empowerment project,
that has produced 83 authors in the Boston-area
community.
Advance registration preferred.
Limited to 20 participants. Ms. Nailah will
also be available to sign copies of her book.
Fee: $25 |
