Writing Your First Novel: From Page One to Publisher

Author Howard Roughan will share his experience of becoming a novelist after a career in advertising and discuss with us some critical aspects of writing, such as a writer's "voice." Roughan is the author of The Up and Comer, (optioned by Michael Douglas), and The Promise of a Lie, and is a collaborator of several books with James Patterson. There will be ample time for Q and A with a reception to follow. This program is for members and guests, and also will be at the Greenwich Historical Society.
