Last year threw a lot of people off their game. If the events of 2020 kept you from reaching your goals, particularly your writing goals, this workshop is for you. Together we’ll discuss practical ways to make the most of this new year and how to see your writing ideas through to finished projects.

Amy K. Nichols is the author of the YA science fiction novels Now That You’re Here and While You Were Gone, published by Knopf BFYR/Penguin Random House. She served as a Teaching Associate with the Your Novel Year program at the Virginia G. Piper Center for Creative Writing, as well as the Writer in Residence for the Glendale Public Library. Insatiably curious, Amy dabbles in art and quantum physics, and has a long list of things to do before she dies. She lives with her family outside Phoenix, AZ.      

Due to social distancing health and safety precautions, this year’s Writer in Residence program has moved to a virtual format and all programs are being presented via Zoom. In order to participate you must include an email address with your registration, so that we can contact you with the Zoom login information.

This program is supported by the Arizona State Library, Archives and Public Records, a division of the Secretary of State, with federal funds from the institute of Museum and Library Services.

All events at the Glendale Public Library are public, and participants may be photographed by the media and or City staff for future print and/or online publication.
