Spring Writers Workshop with author Nancy Dick
Using Tone Correctly & Efficiently
Saturday, April 25
11:00am - 12:30pm
Clark County Library
Paul C. Blau TheatreUsing the right tone will help an author achieve desired perspective and personality of the narrator or the point-of-view character. Join author Nancy Dick as she explains components of proper tone.
To use tone correctly and efficiently in a book, you must first define your intended attitude toward the subject and audience. Then use specific writing elements such as word choice, sentence structure and descriptive details, to maintain that tone consistently throughout the narrative. Join contemporary fiction author Nancy Dick as she explains the key strategies of using tone to leverage specific writing elements, shape sentence structure & rhythm, link tone to character and point-of-view, and evaluate word and punctuation choices to evoke the feelings and attitudes of the narrator. Books by Nancy will be available for purchase and signing after the presentation.
Free and open to the public. Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis and may be limited. For more information, please call 702.507.3458.

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.
