Lisa Nowak Speaks to Young Willamette Writers
Lisa Nowak will be the speaker for the February meeting. In addition to being a YA author, Lisa is a retired amateur stock car racer, an accomplished cat whisperer, and a professional smart-aleck. She writes coming-of-age books about kids in hard luck situations who learn to appreciate their own value after finding mentors who love them for who they are.

Lisa says that there are many important aspects to writing a great
story, but the bottom line is, if the reader doesn't care about your
characters, all your clever plotting and amazing prose will lose its
impact. Lisa plans to show the YWW's how to use collages, interviews,
and their own experience to create characters who come across as real
people.
The Young Willamette Writers meet at the same time as the adults, from 7-8pm at the Old Church in downtown Portland.
