Measurable Outcome(s)

MN author David Housewright proved two very interesting programs in the Hutchinson & Glencoe communities. Housewright told the audience how he goes about writing his crime novels by using an outline. He stated that some other authors don't use an outline -- they just write -- He likes to know where his story is going all the way through the end. Much was learned about the research, writing, and publishing process. Many expressed interest in being able to hear from a successful MN writer.
