Are you a creative writer? Do you want to be? Whether you create short stories, nonfiction, poetry, dialogues, TV Scripts, or existential historical fantasies - everyone who writes likes to belong to a group of like-minded creators for support and accountability. The Shaler North Hills Library Writer's Group could be a great free resource for you. Each month will feature a different genre. Monday meetings on Zoom will begin on the first Monday; additionally, we will meet on Zoom on the 2nd and 3rd Mondays for silent writing. On the fourth Monday, we will meet in person at the Library for reading and critique time.
Please email Jim at jf.binz@gmail.com if you have questions or are ready to join! The Zoom link will be sent to you prior to our first meeting.
