[pameladlloyd]

If you're local to the Tucson area, you might be interested in the series of three workshops hosted by the Pima County Public Library that starts tomorrow (Saturday, September 20, 2008), with the theme: Fantastic in Word and Image: Author and Artist Workshops and Contests.

The first workshop will be held tomorrow at the Himmel Park library from noon until 4 p.m.

Per the library's website:

This is the first of three workshops where you'll hear trade secrets from veteran fantasy, science-fiction and comic book writers and artists.

In this half-day workshop, artists Bridget Wilde and Sarah Clemens will talk about how they work, what inspires them, big mistakes they've made along the way, and any other insider tips you can get out of them! They will be talking about their latest and upcoming projects, showing their artistic process from sketches to completed works, and of course, there will be a Q & A session afterwards.

This session is great for fans as well as would-be artists and illustrators.

Light refreshments will be served.

For more information, call 594-5305.

The next workshop will be Saturday, September 27, 2008 at the Miller-Golf Links Meeting Roomand will feature authors Will Shetterly (aka willshetterly) and Robert E. Vardeman. Call 520-594-5357 to register and for more information.

The last workshop will be Saturday, October 11, 2008 at the Mission branch and will feature "veteran fantasy, science-fiction and comic book writers and artists" Adam Beechen, Benjamin Ilka and Dylan Meconis. For more information, call 520-594-5325.

What amazes me is that I actually learned about this before it happened.
