The Panther Bay
Pirate Blog

Author S.R. Staley will lead a workshop for aspiring writers at Borders Books at Deerfield Town Center in Mason, Ohio on Saturday, 9 February 2008. Staley's book The Pirate of Panther Bay has received rave reviews since its publication in 2006, calling it "a swashbuckling tale of piracy, action, and romance," "expertly written," and a "grand high seas adventure any teen would love; many adults as well."

Staley's workshop will give insight into the writing and publishing process, drawing on more than 15 years of experience working with book publishers and writing fiction and nonfiction.

"We all want to be best-selling authors," Staley said, "but what do you have to do to get there?"

The workshop will cover topics such as the writing process, how to go about getting your book published, and the "brave new world" of marketing using the internet and worldwide web.
