Our little town library is full of readers. But did you know
it's also a place where local writers meet to talk about writing and,
sometimes, write?
The Write Now writer's group meets on the first Wednesday of each month at 10 am. This is where writers gather to to learn more about the craft of writing, share
ideas, support each others work, offer positive critiques, and catch up with
news.
Sharing is the biggest part of the group's informal
meetings. But don't think it's all small talk; these are serious writers
helping each other towards a goal of getting published.
So what do writers talk about when they get together?
Manuscript preparation, publisher's guidelines, setting goals, writer's block,
plotting, character development, how to do research, querying an editor... the
list is endless. While writers do bring their work to read - and get feedback
on - there's no rule that members have to bring something to read each month.
Some meetings are question/answer sessions or brain-storming.
Membership is open to any serious writer who is 18 years old
or older, and there is a small lifetime membership fee. For more information on
membership or visiting the group, contact author Carol Henry at
carolhenry@frontiernet.net or 607-659-7661.
