In this workshop\, novelist Andromeda Romano-Lax breaks down how writers can use one big question to drive a whole book\, while planting dozens of smaller ones along the way. Some questions are answered\, while others are intentionally left hanging. Weā€™ll use a recent bestselling memoir as a working example.\nThis workshop is open to any writer working on a story (fiction or nonfiction\, any genre) at the planning\, drafting\, or revising stage. Bring pages if you have them (not required). Youā€™ll leave with a sharper eye for the questions your own project is raising\, and whether theyā€™re the ones you want.\nAndromeda Romano-Lax worked as a journalist and travel writer before turning to fiction. Her first novel\, The Spanish Bow\, was translated into eleven languages and chosen as a New York Times Editorsā€™ Choice and Library Journal Best Book of the Year. Her next four novels\, The Detour\, Behave\, Plum Rains (winner of the Sunburst Award)\, and Annie and the Wolves\, reflect her diverse interest in the arts\, history\, science\, and technology\, as well as her love of travel. Andromeda has recently swerved into the world of suspense fiction with The Deepest Lake and What Boys Learn\, although she continues to write across genres. Her forthcoming book is a historical novel about Sylvia Plath.\nAndromeda has taught fiction in two MFA creative writing programs and works with novelists and memoirists as a book coach.\nSunday October 4\, 2026\n2-4pm\nLight snacks and beverages provided\nBaker Hall (215 Baker Rd)\nPay-what-you-can\, suggested $20.\nPresented by Paper Covers Rock\, Salt Spring Islandā€™s society for readers and writers.
