Writers group

Calling all writers! Do you have a story yearning to be written and published? Are you looking for a group of like-minded individuals on the journey of writing? If so, you’re invited to join the Warren Writers Group at the Warren Public Library. We will meet the second Thursday of each month beginning on February 9, from 6 to 8 p.m. Learn the many aspects of the writing craft: story structure, plotting, dialog, character development, genres, Show vs. Tell, and much more. For those interested in self-publishing, we will also cover how to find an editor, book cover artist, marketing, and building an Author Platform. Group coordinator will be Amazon-published author Ava Louise. For further information, please contact Sharon Gage at (814) 723-4650 or sgage@warrenlibrary.org or email Stephanie (Ava) at WarrenWritersGroup@gmail.com. Call the library at 723-4650 to register.
