Annual Manthei Speaker Series Announced
“C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, and the Secret of Creative Collaboration”
Dr. Diana Glyer will give the keynote address at the Manthei Speaker Series. The address begins at 7:30 on Friday,October 22 at North Central Michigan College. A book signing will follow, featuring Dr. Glyer and Douglas Anderson.
Lewis and Tolkien were productive and effective in the way they used their creative gifts, so much so that their books continue to inspire readers to this day. How did they accomplish this? Part of their secret was the power of collaboration: they worked closely with each other, and they wrote their books within the context of a writing group called “The Inklings.” This session will describe four different ways that these writers worked together, providing insight into their creative process, and offering a practical model for how we can do the same.
