Fantastic Write On! Workshop Cincy Style

January 16, 2012 by Wendy Beckman

Thanks to everyone who came to the Write On! Workshop Cincy Style yesterday. Judging from the evaluations, and speaking for Val and me, a great time was had by all! And didn’t Colleen Zuber at the Refuge Coffee Bar serve us a great lunch? Steve Gillen’s presentation on Copyrights and Contracts (and all the extra tips he gave us!) is surely going to save many of us a lot of headaches.

For yesterday’s participants: did you feel as if your head was spinning and you couldn’t write fast enough? For those who couldn’t make it: are you kicking yourself now? Never fear! Sign up now for the Write On! Workshop that we’re holding in Dayton on March 31, 2012. See you there!

Writing Workshop Workshop: A Gentle Introduction to the Art of Critiquing (Dec. 18 at 1:30 p.m.)

October 6, 2011 by Wendy Beckman

Are you looking for a place to share your writing in an atmosphere of trust? Where you can get good, constructive feedback? Please join us for learning the gentle art of critiquing others’ writing and being critiqued. Bring seven minutes’ worth of manuscript and $5 for the kitty (more if you plan on eating!).

Please note that this month we will be starting a half hour earlier than usual.

Olive’s on Ludlow:

342 Ludlow Ave
Cincinnati, OH 45220
Neighborhood: Clifton

That building has been many things. The last restaurant in that place was Uno’s. It is also known as the Ludlow Garage. They’re giving us a private room. If you arrive a few minutes early, you can try the all-you-can-eat buffet for $9.95, get yourself settled and then not worry about talking to a waiter!

Please let me know if you will be joining us — and feel free to invite a friend!

See you Sunday, December 18, at 1:30 p.m. at Olive’s!

Come See Me at the Dayton Book Expo on April 30

April 28, 2011 by Wendy Beckman

Or I will be horribly lonely.

The “Dayton Book Expo” (being held 11 to 4 at Sinclair Community College) is going to be a blast, full of first-time authors telling their life stories, experienced novelists with another edge-of-your-chair romance, and panels of folks for you to listen to. Many of the books have been self-published, so if you think you might want to follow that path, follow I-75 to Dayton.
