Looking for a New Writers’ Group? Want to Read Your Work?

Posted in General, Writing Life, tagged , , , , , , , , , , on June 3, 2013| 1 Comment »

Our next Writing Workshop Workshop is on Sunday, June 30, at Olive’s on Ludlow in Clifton’s old gaslight district in Cincinnati, Ohio. We officially gather at 2 p.m., but if you want to take advantage of Olive’s breakfast buffet, get there by 1:30! We need to be done by 5 p.m., so the first 10 people to get there and sign up will get to read.

The group is a great mix of people in many genres and subgenres: memoir, fiction, poetry, nonfiction. If you’re a newbie, you’re more than welcome to just attend and soak up the atmosphere, if you like. Or if you want to read, bring seven minutes’ worth of reading and $5 for the kitty (meow). Bring more money if you intend to eat. 🙂

I’m Talking to Bunch of SiCCOs

Posted in General, Writing Life, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , on September 15, 2012| 1 Comment »

Today I’ll be talking with the Sisters in Crime of Columbus, Ohio (SiCCO). Don’t you just love that acronym?

We’re going to talk about how to get your writing in the best shape for submitting it to editors and agents (and contests, too!). I read some great stories and can’t wait to meet the authors. Some of the things we’ll be discussing are manuscript format, action verbs, punctuation and style guides.

For example, did you know that you’re supposed to put only one space at the end of a sentence and after a colon? Do you know when that standard changed? In the mid-1980s. Want to know why? Well, you’ll have to invite me to talk to your group to find out!

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

Posted in General, Writing Life, tagged , , , , on October 6, 2011| 1 Comment »

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!
