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 You may be a published or unpublished writer, you may be a learner or a teacher, but join us in the quest to find ways to succeed as writers.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 |
