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 You may be a published or unpublished writer, a learner or a teacher.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] |

Writing Groups
Your Daily Practice is a writers' group that meets on the second and fourth Wednesdays of the month from 11 AM to 1 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 Thursdays at noon, just before Critique Group. Writers bring copies of a poem to share, do readings and exchange suggestions and observations.
Critique Group meets on the first and third Thursdays at 1 PM. 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. Members of this group are experienced writers. Some are published authors.
All writing groups meet at historic Sandwich Town Hall and are free to members. Nonmembers may join in at $10 per session.
