The Seattle Public Library’s program devoted to developing independent, diverse authors dives into fall with a series of free classes and other resources. From writing circles to deciding how to publish, these courses take place across the city in branch libraries and  at Richard Hugo House.

For those who don’t feel like traveling, the Seattle Writes page at spl.org also has a large list of online resources. Find out more at www.spl.org/programs-and-services/learning/seattle-writes.
