Join us up the street at the historic Sewickley Library where both beginners and experienced writers will find instruction and support as they learn to collect their thoughts and construct their own short stories and essays. Students will learn editing techniques, character development, setting, plot, narrative voice, and exposition, while participating in regular, and supportive critiques. Join instructor Beverlee Blair and a veteran cast of returning students currently working on essays, a memoir, a short story collection, a novel, and a vague but persistent creative notion. Bring a spark, a kernel, the seed of an idea. Bring your laptop, favorite pen or pencil... and come to write! This class is located at the Sewickley Library: 500 Thorn St, Sewickley, PA 15143

Beverlee Blair, a graduate of Boston University, has been a lifelong student of English literature, psychology, history and the arts (having studied both dance and acting). Ms. Blair has worked variously as a court-appointed private investigator, performance artist and teacher of creative writing for teens and adults on both the east and west coasts. Her short plays have been produced in both California and Pennsylvania and her short stories have been published locally. She is currently at work on a collection of short stories, a novel and a television series loosely based on her experience as a private investigator.
