Learning Writing from the Web

Mentors for writing can be hard to find. But there's lots of good advice out there on the Web.

Here's a few useful links for writers:

Time for New Projects

Many of the Wyoming Valley Wordsmiths have finished a big project and are getting ready to take on another. It's an exciting time to be a writer with so many ways of getting writing out to the public.

This past meeting was a bit of this and a bit of that.

Tom Mooney brought us a short short story also known as flash fiction. Jack Dunn also read part of a short story and Denise Kaminsky read a query letter about a completed project which she is now trying to sell.

Denise has set up a busy book-signing schedule for her two Nittany Lion books.

Susan Denney was excited to share that she has seen the preliminary page layouts for some articles she wrote for Calliope Magazine which will appear in their May issue. 

We hope spring will inspire more members to join us. And we always welcome new members.

Our next meeting is March 21st.
