Those of us who live far from “the Coasts” often feel as if we are writing from the middle of nowhere in every sense. Using humor, photos and stories, New York Times bestselling author, playwright, musician and rural Wisconsin resident Michael Perry will discuss his “accidental” writing career, how to survive the freelance life, and how “the middle of nowhere” can be the most powerful writing element of all. This sixty-minute session is for perfect for book clubs, readers and writers.

General admission $5 at the door (no advance purchase available except for school groups).
