Book Fest Workshop: Down the Rabbit Hole: Research for Writers

Presented by Terri Karsten

Sometimes, 'write what you know' is not enough. Sometimes, writers need to find answers for what they don't know but need to learn to complete their story. This session, geared toward writers of both fiction and non-fiction, will provide practical suggestions, including information about different kinds of research (primary, secondary, experiential) and tips on how to find and use each type. Guidelines for how to judge the quality of information, and several good sources will also be shared.
