Reese Library Special Collections will sponsor a writers workshop for the Augusta-Richmond County Journal on February 2, 2013 from 11 am to 1 pm. Dr. Russell Brown, the journal’s editor, will be available to discuss the writer’s guidelines and to offer critique on material written by students, faculty and the community which might be suitable for inclusion in the publication.
Material selected for the Augusta-Richmond County Journal deals primarily with historical topics relating to Augusta or Richmond County, Georgia from all time periods. To examine copies of the journal, please visit Reese Library, its Special Collections or the Augusta Main Library.
This is an excellent opportunity, most especially for students, to add professional writing credits to their resumes for work or graduate school admission.
