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, and book sellers, 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 You may be a published or unpublished writer, a learner or a teacher. In any case, we welcome you to join us in the quest to find ways to succeed as writers. If you are interested in learning more, please contact Donna Harrison, LA Coordinator: [email protected] |
what's happening...
Your Daily Practice
Your Daily Practice is a writers group that meets on the first and third Wednesdays of the month from 11 AM to 12:30 PM. We offer positive guidance and support to help you develop your writing skills and help keep you accountable. Beginners and experienced writers are welcome.
A Gathering of Poets meets on the third Tuesdays at 2:30 PM at the SAA Center. This group is informative, helpful, and enlightening. We bring about five copies of a poem to read, and then listen to others' suggestions and observations. All members and potential members are welcome.
The Writers' Critique Group meets on the first and third Thursdays at 1 PM at the SAA Center. Members email writing samples before the meeting for preliminary critiques, and then read part or all of the sample at the meeting for further comment.
