November Meeting
Turning Travel into Compelling Stories
with Will Butler
Born and raised in Tucson, Arizona, Will Butler received his Bachelor of Arts in History at the University of Arizona. He has walked the Camino de Santiago twice, once in Portugal and in Spain. His memoir, A Pilgrim in Winter, is based on his Camino de Santiago adventures. Will has also trekked Hadrian's Wall in England and most recently completed the Via Francigena in Italy. He lives in Napa Valley and continues to work in the wine business.
Will’s presentation will focus on how to turn your personal adventures and experiences into a book based on what he learned through publishing A Pilgrim in Winter, and how he transformed his experience walking 500 miles in Spain to a published biography. He will discuss the details of his time in Spain, how he researched and wrote the book, and the best ways to edit your work.
