About the Literary Arts Group
Being a writer requires many skills, from content development and good organization to a compelling and appropriate style. The success of journalistic articles, essays, novels, short stories, books, poems, plays, and screen plays depends on literary competence. Oh yes… and on editors, illustrators, publishers, book sellers, etc. as well as the writer’s marketing and public speaking skills. The purpose of the Literary Arts group is to support writers by developing writing skills, promoting sales, facilitating contacts, information exchange, and relationships. You may be a published or unpublished writer, you may be a learner or a teacher, but join us in the quest to find ways to succeed as writers. At present, the Literary Arts Group meets the 3rd Wednesday of the month at Sandwich Public Library. PLEASE NOTE: Meeting time may change, check back for updates. If you are interested in learning more about the Literary Arts Group, or wish to join, please contact Cynthia McCormick cmccormick@capecodonline.com What's new?Do you know an illustrator?
The Alliance Writer's Group has writers interested in working on children's books and they would like to have a reference list of artists who may be interested in doing illustrations at some time in the future. If you know someone who might like to be part of this "directory" for our writers, please pass their name along to Carolyn (cranberryshores@gmail.com). This is not a commitment, just a source for our writers and artists to connect and find a possible working partnership. SAA Literary Arts Writing Groups
