Do you dream of writing tantalizing tales of your travel adventures?  There’s more to travel writing than just describing where you’ve been and what you’ve seen.  

After her marriage of 25 years ended, Linda Kenyon was determined never to put herself in the way of a broken heart again.  But then she met an extraordinary man, and in an act of great courage — or great foolishness — she decided to sell everything she owned and sail across the ocean with him.  Sea Over Bow:  A North Atlantic Crossing is the account of that journey.  As she faces the challenges of nature, Linda also finds the time to reflect, and dream, and make sense of life.  Sea Over Bow is an adventure story, but it is also about finding the courage to start again.

In this 90-minute workshop, Linda will show you how to craft a tightly constructed piece that will bring to life the places you’ve been and explore their significance. Come prepared to do some writing — bring pen and paper, your laptop, whatever works for you — and to share your work.

The Travel Writing Workshop will take place at the Isabel Turner branch on Tuesday, August 13, at 2 p.m. and is open to adults and new adults.  There is no admission charge, but seating is limited.  To avoid disappointment, please register in advance at https://calendar.kfpl.ca/ or by phone at (613) 549-8888) as of 9 a.m. on Saturday, August 3.
