Are you a writer looking for support as you work on your craft? Chandler Public Library is excited to partner with the Arizona State Library for the Writer-in-Residence program, a series of workshops and one-on-one consultations for writers. We’ll welcome Valerie Ipson as our Writer in Residence from February through April 2026. Valerie is the author of novels and children's books who has also taught extensively at writing conferences, workshops, and in classroom settings.
30-minute writing consultations continue through April 20 to help aspiring authors fine-tune their work. All experience levels are welcome. Limit one session per week. At Hamilton and Basha Libraries; dates and times vary. Registration is required.
Choose your session and register for a 30-minute time slot here.
