The Queen Creek Library welcomes author Amy Fellner-Dominy as the February guest speaker for the Writer’s Studio for Children’s Authors and Illustrators.

The Writer’s Studio is open 6-7 p.m. the fourth Tuesday of each month in the Queen Creek Library story time room at 21802 S. Ellsworth Road. This series is free to the public and registration is required.

Ms. Fellner-Dominy is the award-winning young adult author of Announcing Trouble, The Fall of Grace, Die For You and A Matter of Heart, as well as the Cookiesaurus Rex picture books, according to a release.

She’ll discuss “The Nuts and Bolts of Writing Picture Books,” including word count, page turns, book dummies and the querying process.
