Endicott Branch

Newspaper Table

This town is full of stories to tell. In this course, you will help us uncover and share the stories of all sorts of people with a deep connection to Dedham’s past and present.

This nonfiction profile-writing course will take place every other Sunday in the fall of 2024 at the Dedham Public Library, beginning on September 22, and ending the week of November 24.

In this course, you will interview and write a profile article on a Dedham resident or residents. And, you will learn about the process of story subject selection, interviewing and interview prep, writing and revising profile stories, thinking about your audience, voice and tone. At the end of the course, we will share these stories online with a wider audience. The goals of this project are to build new connections within our community and allow town residents to learn more about each other and about Dedham!

For adults. Registration for the whole course is required. Please contact Brittany at btuttle.ddm@minlib.net with questions.

Course Meeting Topics:

  • 9/22: Choose a Story Subject
  • 10/6: Prep for the Interview
  • 10/20: Develop an Outline
  • 11/3: Write a First Draft
  • 11/17: Complete Your First Draft
  • Date TBA: Reading and Celebration

*Are you a Dedham resident with an interesting story to tell? Sign up to be interviewed for the course by contacting Brittany at btuttle.ddm@minlib.net or calling 781-751-9284.
