Join us in October for one of our always-popular Brainstorming Sessions. At this interactive meeting, we will help one another with whatever writing-related issues we need input on. Come and participate even if you don’t have a current question or need yourself. You might have just the information, ideas, or encouragement that will help someone else.

Not sure what issues to bring to the group? Maybe these ideas will spur your thoughts: Do you need ideas for a title or maybe for character names especially appropriate to a certain time period or locale? Do you need help with a plot problem? Or maybe you have a grammar question or need guidance on writing tight. Or perhaps on where and how to submit your work? You might need tips for a book launch, book signing, or how to best market your book once it releases. Do you need suggestions for conferences, agents, or publishers? Are you unsure whether to traditionally publish or self-publish a certain work? Maybe you need input on your tagline or suggestions for book ideas that fit your interests, style, and experience. Or do you need tips on how to move past writers block? No question or problem is too big or too small. If it’s writing-related, we want to help.
