Local Writing Chapters

I love our local writing chapters. They bring in fellow writers (NY best selling authors, USA best sellers, local authors that have made it, Unpublished, Beginners) to speak about their experiences in a wide range of topics:

• About the craft (character development, plotting, pacing, etc.);
• Or, about the business side of writing (website/myspace management, importance of blogging or promotions, etc.)

The speakers have also been agents (Deidre Knight – Knight Agency), people who have worked in the publishing industry (Jerry Simmons), CSI investigators, FBI and local detectives and lots, lots more.

I’ve enjoyed every one of the talks and enjoy networking with my fellow writers each month. We celebrate the successes (contracts), celebrate reviews, celebrate the rejections and people submitting manuscripts.

The local chapters give free workshops, encourage new members, and hold local conferences (e.g., Desert Dreams). Everyone is encouraging, motivating and has helped me more then I can ever repay.

Please join your local chapter and write your heart out.

    Very well said! I know I wouldn’t be where I am today without my local chapter. Valley of the Sun has been invaluable to me.
