Member meetings are a time of learning and networking for aspiring and established writers. They feature a speaker and usually occur the first Thursday of the month. You’re invited to join in 30 minutes early for social time and stay afterward. Meetings usually last one hour. Visitors are always welcome and may attend two meetings without paying dues. Our meetings and seminars are appropriate for all levels of writers, beginning to advanced.
All meetings and seminars held online until further notice.
Once it is safe to meet in person, we will provde the address in this space..
