What to expect:

Whether you've been thinking about writing a novel or the local book-seller carries several of your published titles, our meetings are wonderful opportunities to meet with other writers of all levels.

•  Introductions and announcements are made before food is ordered.

• Fellowship and free-form discussion follows over a delicious meal.

• The education portion of the meeting begins with a speaker, panel, or other presentation relating to the craft of fiction writing, writer development, or the publishing industry.

• Adjournment followed by book signing and/or resource purchase opportunities and continued fellowship, depending on the topic and presenter(s).

In addition to our regular monthly meetings, our chapter now hosts 3 - 4 WRITE-INS and WRITE-OUTS per year. Please feel free to join us for these fun events.
