Event Details

If you've ever contemplated leaving a job and starting something completely new, you've probably also thought about all the good reasons not to. Even so, there may be benefit in forging straight ahead. In this presentation, Sheila Grinell will share tips and advice on how to become a successful writer, pulling from her knowledge about the challenges she faced starting a second career.  Toward the end of her forty-year career as a creator of science museums, Sheila Grinell turned to fiction. Her debut novel, APPETITE, was published in 2016, and a second novel, THE CONTRACT, was released in September 2019. Born in a taxi in Manhattan, she studied at The Bronx High School of Science, Harvard University, and the University of California at Berkeley.  Prescott Writers is hosted by Central Arizona Writers and presented with funding from the Friends of the Prescott Public Library.
