Bona Fide Books & Letterpress in Meyers will offer two classes of interest to writers in May.

“So You Want to Write and/or Illustrate a Children’s Book—Now What?” is the title of children’s book author and illustrator Kristen Schwartz’s class. It will be an intensive, personalized session aimed toward helping writers and illustrators of children’s, middle grade and young adult books find their footing in the publishing industry.

The class is May 14 from 10am-2:30pm. Space is limited; the fee is $75.

Have you always wanted to tell your story? When you talk about your life, do people say you should write a book? Are you already writing your memoir, hoping to submit it for publication? “Getting to the Story Behind the Story: Writing a Memoir That Matters” will be May 19, 6-9pm.

“Almost Somewhere: 28 Days on the John Muir Trail” author Suzanne Roberts will teach this session for those who have always wanted to tell their story. In this class, writers learn how to get to the heart of the story and write a personal narrative that matters. The class fee is $45/$35 students.

Both classes will be at Bona Fide Books & Letterpress in Meyers, 1069 Magua St., No.4.
