SUMMARY:WDM Writer's Group
DESCRIPTION:Event DetailsThis in-person group is open to aspiring authors of all experience levels. Each participant brings an approximately 1500-word excerpt of their work-in-progress to read aloud. Fellow writers offer constructive critique following each writer's turn. Members may email excerpts to each other ahead of time so those who plan to attend can bring hard copies if they wish. Hard copies with notes are turned over to the writer following each critique. Novelists\, short-story writers\, essayists\, memoirists\, poets—all writers are welcome. This Library program is facilitated by local writer Vic Amoroso.
