Information for new and existing members

2008-10-22T06:07:00.001-07:00

Hello Everyone:
Many folks have emailed over the past weeks asking me the types of activities I focus on for our group. In a word (actually several!), writing critique/style and speakers. We recently completed our study of Evan Marshall's The Marhsall Plan, a study I found helpful in writing my current novel, Dying for Emily.
I also encourage participants to bring writing samples, as I've done, to receive useful, constructive input from individuals like you and me-writers!
We have also been treated to exceptional speakers these past two years, and I certainly want to continue this trend.
Most importantly, I welcome input from you. Please post a comment indicating what you would like to see; you can also email me at Stephen@StephenFWithrow.com.
Thank you for making our group a viable tool in helping all of us become even better writers.
