American novelist John Gardner called details the lifeblood of fiction.\u00a0Many an editor has said the absolute key to a piece of writing she fell in love with was its voice…but what creates the “voice” of a piece other than its distinct details?\u00a0Award-winning author Jane Kurtz will\u00a0give ten keys for\u00a0coaxing vivid, shimmering, gripping details into\u00a0our drafts\u00a0and will show why certain mistakes around details are the kiss of death for any piece of writing. Q&A will follow the talk.<\/p>\n

Jane Kurtz<\/em><\/strong> spent most of her childhood in Ethiopia\u2014and now travels the world talking about writing, reading, and the magic of books. Her recent speaking has taken her to all but eleven of the U.S. states, Europe, the Persian Gulf, Indonesia, Cambodia, India, Romania, and East and West Africa. <\/em>School Library Journal called Jane Kurtz a \u201csuperb storyteller.\u201d Her books have gathered accolades, starred reviews, and awards. Since 1994, she has published twenty-nine books: nonfiction books, professional books for teachers, picture books, and novels for young readers that draw on her own childhood memories of growing up in Ethiopia as well as surviving the Red River flood of 1997. Jane has taught writing at the elementary, secondary, and university levels and is currently on the faculty of the MFA in children\u2019s and young adult literature out of Vermont College. Her passion for books and reading and her love of Ethiopia came together in Ethiopia Reads, an organization that is establishing the free libraries for children in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, with Yohannes Gebregeorgis, one of CNN\u2019s Top Ten Heroes (www.ethiopiareads.org).
