We continue to plan new and exciting stuff for the group. As our group expands and changes, more writers will join our ranks and add various modes of expertise and activity to the group. Maybe that even includes you. If you have a particular gift or specialty, you are encouraged to join with us and share it. For example, if you have overcome writing hurdles on the way to publication, please come tell us how you did it. Or, if you offer an editing or publication service in addition to your own writing, join us and let us know of your services and what you can do for the other writers in our group.
As a quick overview, we can always use people to help in the following areas...
- Publicity and advertising;
- Preparation of printed materials (like our newsletter);
- Bloggers;
- Event planners;
- Financial consultants;
- And any other people to organize or cover the functional positions that can help make our group more and more successful.
So, if this sounds good to you, or if you've ever thought about joining previously, or if you have joined in the past and are now wondering if it's worth joining again, now is the time to come in--or to come back!
We welcome one and all and may God richly bless you in all you do, and write, for Him.
