FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Learn about writing craft, editing,
publishing, and publicity with award-winning authors, editors, and publicists
at Annie’s Book Stop of Worcester.
Worcester, MA, October 1, 2014 – On Saturday,
November 8, Annie’s Book Stop of Worcester on 65 James Street will be offering
an all-day Writers Workshop from 10:30 AM – 4:00 PM. The workshop will have three parts: Writing
