Hello. I am wanting to join a beginners writing group for some honest critique and feedback
Is anyone available to call me @ 619-306-3148 to let me know if something is available please.
I would really appreciate a call back ASAP thanks so much. Hayley
Hi Hayley. Since you appear to be in the San Diego area, check out San Diego Writers Ink (www.sandiegowriters.org). It’s a wonderful organization that provides classes, arranges writers’ groups, and is a network of lovely writers. Tuesday, February 9, I’ll be teaching a class for them on how to write a memoir. The following weekend, February12-14, is the Southern California Writers’ Conference in Mission Valley (http://writersconference.com/sd/) where I’ll also be giving a workshop. If you’ve never been to a conference, do yourself a favor and join us. Really. This conference is much smaller than the SDSU conference, sort of the difference between your neighborhood and NYC. You can talk with the instructors, possibly have lunch with them. People are friendlier in a smaller venue, so it’s much less overwhelming. You may even find other writers in the SD area to form a writers’ group. I hope to see you in February!
