C.H. Booth Library will present a six-session writing program, “Epistolary Writing For Adults,” beginning Thursday, May 7.

An epistolary story or novel is written as a series of documents, such as correspondence, letters, telegrams and other writings. Examples of contemporary epistolary novels include Bloodline by Kate Cary, 2005; Who Moved My Blackberry? by Lucy Kellaway, also 2005, and Almost Like Being In Love, 2004, and Last Days of Summer, 1998, both by Steve Kluger.

In the library’s writing group tied to Newtown Reads! — a library-sponsored program intended to encourage all residents of town to read the same book, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows, between May 1 and July 1 — participants will craft stories through letters and related forms such as diary and journal entries, e-mails and text messages.

Sessions will run for two hours, 6 to 8 pm each week, and will allow time for writing, sharing, and discussing stories in progress.

Aimee Potwatka will lead the group.

The program will meet weekly, May 7 to June 11, and registration is requested. It will take place in the board room of the library, at 25 Main Street.
