  •  Introductions and announcements are made before food is ordered.

  • The education portion of the meeting begins with a speaker, panel, or other presentation relating to the craft of fiction writing, writer development, or the publishing industry.
  • Adjournment followed by book signing and/or resource purchase opportunities and continued fellowship, depending on the topic and presenter(s).
In addition to our regular monthly meetings, our chapter now hosts 3 - 4 WRITE-INS and WRITE-OUTS per year. Please feel free to join us for these fun events.
