trusting atmosphere. We encourage productive, committed writers to work on stories or book-length manuscripts. 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 2011. The leader of these groups recently signed a two-book deal with Kensington Publishing.
