NEXT MEETING: Next meeting is today, Saturday, February 13th, 2010, from 5:45 PM to 8:30 PM. This will be an exciting meeting with a local publisher from our area. Dave Mattingly of "BlackWyrm Publishing" will present information about his company, what writers need to know about getting published, and steps to publication. He will then open the floor for questions and answers. If you are a writer who wants to be published, join us for this informative meeting. More information with a direct link to a map can be found on our Facebook event page at ... http://www.facebook.com/pages/Louisville-KY/Louisville-Christian-Writers/128032029272?v=app_2344061033#!/event.php?eid=319232230742
Because this is Valentine's Day weekend, we will have a couple special treats for everyone in attendance this evening. Join us early from 4:45 to 5:45 for fellowship and goodies, and to meet our speaker in advance. If you would like, you may purchase a meal in the Audubon Hospital cafeteria or bring food from outside in with you. During our break time, we will also have a special gift for writers.
Following the speaker portion of the meeting, we will gather into small groups to critique work brought in for reading by other writers. If you would like your work critiqued, please bring 4 to 5 copies of your typed article, story, poem, etc. It is best if the work is double-spaced to give room for writers to make notes.
Finally, it is time once again to pay dues, so if you have not done so, or you are new, please come prepared to update your 2010 membership. First year dues are $30 and renewals are $25. We are planning a magazine of this year's best writing at the end of the year and your dues will help pull that together so that every member can have a copy. If you want to work on the magazine planning committee, please let us know.
