WordSmitten.com Writers Meetup Group
|
WordSmitten Writers Group. Meet working authors and journalists in a casual and relaxed atmosphere to brainstorm about "the book biz" and form productive critique groups. Come to a Writers Meetup to review work, trade literary tips, make friends and have fun! All writers -- and should-be writers -- are welcome. Special note: In addition to the regular monthly Meetup group, WordSmitten is sponsoring a Saturday, March 22, 2008, writing conference to be held at the University of Tampa. This Saturday event features Jane Friedman, editorial director of notable Writer's Digest Books, publishers of "Writer's Market" and Jane is donating 50 copies to be given away Saturday, March 22, 2008. The first 50 writers to register online receive one of these Writer's Market books (a $49.00 retail value). We are delighted to announce that award-winning author Connie May Fowler will teach a master class on the topic of memoir for WordSmitten's event. Meet these outstanding authors and editors at the March writing workshop. To register, visit www.wordsmitten.com/ writingworkshop.htm and sign up for a chance to win a copy of Writer's Market, a great writing resource.
