~ Mesa Public Library has announced that published author Brooke Bessesen will be the next Writer in Residence at their Red Mountain Library location. From April to July, Bessesen will be working closely with community members, offering one-on-one consultations and hosting workshops to help writers of all levels improve their craft.
The Writer in Residence program is a highly sought-after opportunity for writers in the Mesa area.

Bessesen's expertise and experience make her an ideal candidate for this role. She has previously taught at ASU's Piper Writers Studio and has been honored with a Celebrate Literacy Award from the International Literacy Association, a Glyph Award, Judy Goddard Award, and a nomination for the Grand Canyon Reader Award.
