ATHENS, AL (WAFF) -
Calling all authors and writers around north Alabama! If you need to brush up on your writing skills, you can do so this weekend.
Athens State University will host a writing seminar called "Kudzu Chronicles."
The event includes discussions on how to get your book published, self publishing as well as a meet and greet with regional authors.
Guest speakers include an author who wrote a book about her family surviving the sinking of the titanic.
"On Friday night, September 7th and Saturday, September 8th, we will be having a writer's conference. On Saturday we will have free panel discussions on writing, different types of writing and genealogy, and then we will also have authors speaking about their books," said Kelly Kazak with Athens State.
This event is free and open to the public. It's put on in conjunction with Art on the Square in downtown Athens.
