The Wilmington Write to Publish Group is a fun, focused assembly of writers.
There are three purposes for the group. 1) To organize critique groups (4-5 people) for writers who would like regular feedback for their writing. 2) To guide writers who have a completed manuscript in getting published through traditional publishers, literary agents, or by self-publishing. 3) To establish bookstore events and public speaking engagements for published authors.
All writers - and should-be writers - are welcome!
