Charity Singleton Craig

The free program is set for 6-7:30 p.m.

Their book acts as a personal coach to explore the writing life the reader already has, and the writing life the reader wishes for, working wisely and strategically to close the gap between the two.

"On Being a Writer," released Oct. 24 by T. S. Poetry Press, is currently available on Amazon, as well as through other major online retailers and Ingram.

Charity Singleton Craig grew up near Greencastle, attended South Putnam High School and graduated from Taylor University as a mass communications major with an emphasis in print media.

After a brief stint in newspaper journalism at the Banner Graphic, she worked in several other industries, all while attempting to live the writing life. Recently, she became a fulltime freelance writer and editor, serving as a content and copy editor for The High Calling, a contributing writer for Tweetspeak Poetry, and a staff writer for Curator Magazine. She also serves several clients with their corporate communication needs.

Kroeker, who grew up near Plainfield, graduated from Indiana University as an English major with a creative writing emphasis. She launched her freelance writing career as a young adult and has been working for over two decades as a writer, editor, and most recently as a writing coach.

The book offers honest and witty stories help build the vision for a satisfying, sustainable writing life, while prompts and activities on the 12 vital habits assist in making that life a reality. A book sale and signing will follow their talk.
