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 You may be a published or unpublished writer, you may be a learner or a teacher, but join us in the quest to find ways to succeed as writers. If you are interested in learning more about the Literary Arts Group, or wish to join, please contact Carolyn LeComte at cranberryshores@gmail.com |
What's Happening...
- Writer’s Networking meets on Wednesday, December 8 at SAA at 11AM. All members and potential members are welcome. We exchange tips on writing and publishing and update each other on our work.
- A Gathering of Poets will meet on December 21 at 2:30 p. m. at Jana Dillon Hamby's house at 110 Tupper Road, Sandwich. The group is informative, helpful, and enlightening. We read a poem and listen to others' suggestions and observations. We will go back to meeting at SAA after the Holly Days sales are over. All members and potential members are welcome.
What's New...
New Publication-You're invited!
The Literary Arts group is collaborating with the Visual Arts group to publish a new book on the theme of the close relationships humans have with animals, such as Joe Cunis' commentary on turkeys. Contributions include prose and poems. We have yet to have writings on puppies, kittens, and other babies, so Please consider getting out your pen and sending in your special stories of fun and charm about your special animal friends. Visual Arts members are invited to send their artwork of pets, or bees, or turkeys, for inclusion in the book. The money from sales of the book go to the Alliance. SAA will have the copyright of the book as a whole, but each individual contributor retains ownership and copyright (the right to let others print your work) of their work for your own personal use. In other words, you can’t make copies of the book and sell it, but you can do whatever you want with your own work. The deadline for contributions is December 31 . Send them to JanaDillonHamby@gmail.com. Become published in a book!
Upcoming Book Signings
Saturday, December 4, Nicole Donovan will be signing her book, A Life Suspended, from noon to 1pm. Milly White will sign her books at SAA from 1 to 3pm and introduce her new book, Journeys With Spirit.
Saturday, December 11, from 1 to 3pm, and Saturday, December 18, from 11am-1pm, Joe Cunis will sign copies of Ichiwan.
Come to the Holly Days sales and look over the books and artwork. There is something for everyone!
