The Franklin County Public Libraries is hosting the last installment of their popular writers’ series, “Pen to Paper” on Monday, May 13 at 2 pm at the Carrabelle Branch Library. This session will feature newspaperman, David Adlerstein. The Carrabelle Branch Library is located at 311 St. James Avenue (Hwy 98), Carrabelle, FL.
During the series, writers discuss the works they have written and those in progress, followed by a question and answer session. These friendly and informal sessions provide an opportunity to meet these authors and question their experiences. They are open to anyone interested in learning about the writers or the writing process. There is no charge to attend.
After growing up in Columbus, Ohio, David Adlerstein has been a newspaperman ever since high school, and has made a living at it ever since graduating Brandeis University in 1979. He has written everything from news to sports to features, and has taken photographs, for a variety of publications. He edited the weeklies The Bellville Star, Medical Business, The Apalachicola Times and The Port St. Joe Star, and has received numerous awards for his work from the Florida Press Association.
