Join us at 2:30 pm for our monthly meeting of the Writers' Alliance of Gainesville. This month's speaker is writer and storyteller Kathy Dobronyi.
Kathy Dobronyi, a passionate storyteller and writer, will speak at the Writers Alliance of Gainesville meeting on October 8, 2023, at 2:30 p.m. at the Millhopper Branch. The program is free and open to the public.
Every writer has strengths and weaknesses in different areas. One writer can think up exciting plot twists for every scene but struggles with bringing characters to the page. Another writer presents sharp dialogue but isn’t so great at creating settings. Dobronyi says she is guilty of being that sort of writer.
Her narrative memoir, Under the Wings of a Good Luck Phoenix shares her story of being one of 4,000 American civilians living in Saigon in 1963 when she was twelve. She is now working on her first historical novel, Echoes of War, the story of Amos Hillyard, a seventeen-year-old boy, who was captured with thirteen other Quakers by the Virginia Militia in Winchester, Virginia, on September 23, 1777, on the eve of the Battle of Germantown.
The Writers' Alliance of Gainesville (WAG) promotes encourages and supports aspiring and experienced regional writers. This goal is accomplished via monthly meetings, public readings, small critique groups, a literary journal, and writers' contests and collaborations with schools and civic organizations to foster creative expression through the written word.
