Nationally recognized Christian fiction writer Kaye Dacus will present a workshop entitled "Top Ten Writing Tips" for writers on Wednesday, September 8th at 6:30 PM in the library's Community Room. Dacus is the author of The Ransome Trilogy and the Matchmakers series.

Gleaned from more than twenty years of writing, six published novels, working in the industry as an editor, and getting a degree in creative writing, award-winning romance and Christian fiction novelist Dacus will share the top ten pieces of writing advice that have been most helpful in her own writing journey.  A Christy Award finalist for her novel Stand-In Groom, author Kaye Dacus likes to say she writes "inspirational romance with a sense of humor." She lives in Nashville and graduated from Seton Hill University's Master of Arts in Writing Popular Fiction program. She is an active member and former Vice President of American Christian Fiction Writers (ACFW).
