Keith Manos visits the Club Ink writing workshop at the Chardon Branch Wed., September 6th at 7:00 p.m. to present his Powerful Sentences seminar on the significance of rhythm in forming sentences and helping editors notice your work. In his seminar, Manos will address the common problem of “I know what I want to say, but I don’t know how to say it.” Through a range of activities, the seminar gives authors of both fiction
and nonfiction the ability to recognize and implement the characteristics of powerful sentences. This event is free and open to Club Ink members as well as the general public. Registration required.
