Writing Group Planning Meeting

Writing Group Planning Meeting March 6
Interested in writing? If you like writing (or are thinking about writing) fiction, nonfiction, poetry, short stories, essays, song lyrics, children's books, graphic novels, magazine articles, or any other form, we'd love to have you join us at an open planning meeting to discuss starting a community writers' group. A writers' group could meet regularly to discuss and share work in progress, ideas, exercises, inspiration, experience, and anything else that is relevant to the craft. We'd like to gauge the level and scope of interest in the area before we establish a direction.
 
Come to the PAS Room of the Princeton Center Building, 13 Boylston Ave, Princeton on Tuesday, March 6 at 7pm, and we'll decide where we go from there. For more information, contact us at paswriters@yahoo.com
