| Critique Groups |
Quill to Computer Guild The Quill to Computer Guild has changed its meeting night to Tuesday evening. We are a critique group for beginning writers and interested in all genres of work. We will review anything from punctuation to plot to story flow. We meet at Borders, 1715 N. Rock Road at 7 p.m. in the coffee shop area. We are very informal and often discuss a wide variety of topics. Let us know if you plan on attending the first time so the time and place can be verified with you. For more information, contact Linda Graves 945-5535, info@sgdrugfree.com or John Cleaver 263-0084, trapshot88@sbcglobal.net. Do you write poetry? Some KWA members are looking for a new poetry critique group. If you write poetry and are interested, contact Colleen at ckjohnston@aol.com. There is no particular date or hour set for meeting, so make your preferences known. This group is not for those with no experience in poetry at all. |
