Writing a succinct and impactful synopsis is the key to capturing the attention of agents, publishers and the media. Join author R.H. Bird as he demonstrates best practices in crafting a synopsis.
Join us for a writing workshop with local young adult (YA) author R.H. Bird as he discusses the business side of being an author.
R.H. Bird grew up in Fishkill, New York, graduating with a degree in Business Administration which led him to a career as a stockbroker-- first on Wall Street and then in Honolulu, Hawaii. Upon returning to New York as a senior executive, he witnessed the 9/11 attacks from his office window and decided to move his family across the country to Las Vegas. About 15 years ago, he was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Unable to work full time, R.H. retired from the brokerage business and took up writing non-fiction. After writing and publishing reference textbooks for financial companies, he switched gears to YA fiction. His first novel "Promposal" was traditionally published in 2024 and stemmed from an idea he had from a writing retreat. The sequel "Last Prom Standing," will be published in 2025. R.H. currently lives in Las Vegas with his wife and three daughters. He loves traveling, alpine skiing, scuba diving and volunteering at his local church.

Originally opening in 1966 as a three-room library within the Airport Annex building, the Clark County Library moved in 1967 to a storefront. In 1971, the library moved again to its current location using deeded land from the County and with money awarded by the Max C. Fleishman Foundation. The building went on to have two remodels: one completed in 1986, and the second completed in 1994, which resulted in the three-story, 120,000-square-foot building it is today. This redesign notably included a 399-seat theater and an 80-seat black box theater/dance studio. The Library District also added the Best Buy Teen Tech Center, which provides a place for teens to explore and master new technologies and digital skills.
