Dakota Writing Project

As part of Vermillion's sesquicentennial celebration, the Dakota Writing Project and Vermillion Public Library are teaming up to offer a three-part series on memoir writing, "Into Our Making: Writing Memoir." This is an opportunity to receive guidance, inspiration, and support in writing down stories from your life or stories passed down from family members. Any adult, eighteen or older, is welcome to participate.

 The three-part series takes place from 10 a.m. to 12 noon at the Vermillion Public Library (18 Church Street, downtown Vermillion) on the three following Saturdays: March 21, April 18, and May 16. Participants are expected to attend all three sessions. Bring writing tools, such as paper, pen/pencils, and/or a computer laptop. Of course, you should be prepared to write.

Greg Dyer, a professor at the University of Sioux Falls and a Dakota Writing Project teacher-consultant, will lead this memoir series.

Registration is limited to fifteen participants. The fee is $25 per person. For additional registration information, contact Vermillion Public Library Director Jane Larson at jlarson@sdln.net.
