Tucson writers can get help from a pro

Got writer’s block? Need advice on getting into the industry? Tucson author Laura Markowitz is ready to help.

Markowitz is the Pima County Public Library’s spring writer in residence now through April 30.

The writers in residence program is free and open to writers of any age, experience or genre who are seeking advice, feedback, pointers and tips on writing and publishing.

Markowitz is a National Magazine Award-winning writer, author, editor, multimedia producer and contributing producer for Arizona Public Media, according to a news release.
