WED. APRIL 6
Book Talk – 100 Things, 100 Days: Writing & Researching Syracuse’s First Travel Guidebook
Oasis Lifelong Learning, East Syracuse – 1:00-2:30 pm
Deemed ‘too small’ to be written up by Fodor’s, Frommer, The Lonely Planet, and other big-name travel publishers, Syracuse is finally getting its 160 pages of fame. “100 Things to Do in Syracuse Before You Die,” written by Oasis writing instructor Linda Lowen, is now out, published by Reedy Press. Learn how Linda researched and wrote the book in just 100 days and distilled the unique qualities of metro Syracuse into one-hundred 130-word entries. Get a peek into the world of travel writing and what it takes to write in this genre.
