EXPERIENCED, DETERMINED WRITERS


Three writing groups are available in Hillsborough; these ongoing groups offer support and tough peer critique in a trusting atmosphere. We encourage productive, committed writers to work on stories or book-length manuscripts. We seek serious writers only who will attend regularly. A memoir by one member was published in May 2006; another member's novel debuted in November 2008, and a novel by a third member will be published by Viking in early 2011. The leader of these groups has a two-book deal with Kensington Publishing; her first novel debuts in April, 2011. Tuesdays from10:00 am-noon or 7:00-9:00 pm, and Wednesdays from 10:30 am–12:30 pm, in a private home in Hillsborough (easily accessible from I-40 and I-85). The cost is $160 every eight weeks. For more information: 919-644-1239.

Hi, my wife and I are interested in starting a writing group. Here is the ad that we want to post ... thanks!

Raleigh Fiction Writing Group welcomes active writers of book-length and short fiction who are dedicated to growing as writers in a non-threatening yet challenging environment. We gather twice a month to share successes and rejections, critique one another’s work, and celebrate the joys of writing. If you are interested in joining, contact Trina at: trina.l.allen@gmail.com.


Please ask NCWN to post this in the electronic and print newsletter. I think they also have a writing groups page where it can be posted. If so, the link to the group is http://trinaallen.com/raleighfiction
