Events & Workshops

The SWG and the Saskatoon Public Library have partnered together to bring you Kristy Jackson! Please join her and hear about the process Kristy uses to go from idea to novel, with a special focus on the crucial beginning phase. Kristy will talk about her technique of writing a query letter to an agent BEFORE she starts writing her novel, taking time to flesh out the idea before dedicating months of work to the writing and editing. Participants will have a chance to try writing their own pitches during the workshop.
