First Friday June 6th: So, You Want to Write a Book

So, You Want to Write a Book?
Join author, ghostwriter, and Taylor Street Art and Books co-owner Brian Kannard—a 15-year publishing industry veteran with 33 books under his belt—for a 90-minute crash course on what it really takes to write a book. Whether you’re dreaming of your first novel, tackling a nonfiction passion project, or finally organizing that memoir, this workshop will give you the tools to get started (and stay on track).

Brian has collaborated with New York Times and USA Today bestselling authors and editors, and he’s bringing that experience to Taylor Street Art and Books for one night only. Topics include:

• Writing strategies for fiction and nonfiction

• Why you don't need an English degree to write a book.

• Digital tools that streamline your writing life

• Time management for writers with day jobs

• How to set realistic goals and manage expectations

• Creative tips to beat writer’s block

• What you need to know about writing with AI (ethically and effectively)
