- Anna Jean Mayhew Writing Group
- PRODUCTIVE, COMMITTED WRITERS!
My writing groups offer support and tough peer critique in a trusting
atmosphere that encourages experienced, determined writers to work on
stories or book-length manuscripts. Tuesday mornings, 10 to noon and
Tuesday evenings, 7 to 9 PM. I seek serious writers who will commit to
regular attendance. One group has met for 12 years at my home in
Hillsborough; a second group formed in 2001. Easily accessible from I-40
& I-85. A book by one member will be published in May 2006; my recently
completed novel is currently under consideration by two agents. $140
every 8 weeks.
