The Raleigh Write 2 Publish Meetup Group“ I would imagine others need to determine their own reasons for their decisions based upon their particular needs or desires. I joined because I need to get ready to publish some short works and possibly some book length projects while knowing nothing of the publishing industry or writing trade. This is necessary information for me. WIthout this type of information I will have no idea as to where to begin nor will I be able to keep up with the state of the art in the publishing world. ”
