Coos Bay Public Library, in partnership with Literary Arts, will co-host two events with award-winning Oregon author and accomplished musician, Willy Vlautin of Scappoose, Oregon. Both events will be held on Friday, June 13. Willy will hold a Writing Workshop from 4:00pm-5:30pm and an Author Reading at 6:00pm.

Budding novelists, join us for an informal workshop with the author himself and get ideas for writing your book! Then, we will hear the author read from his latest novel, The Horse, which explores loneliness, art, regret, and hard-won empathy. Come and enjoy Vlautin’s hardscrabble fiction about real Americans!

Both programs will be held in the Myrtlewood Room at the Coos Bay Public Library.

Events are FREE and open to everyone.
