Olney Writer's Group - Virtual

This friendly group consists of writers who are in various stages of their projects (representing different genres). They meet twice/month, usually the 2nd & 4th Thursdays. For November and December, the group meets on the 1st and 3rd Thursdays to avoid the holidays. At each session, members offer praise and constructive critique. In the two weeks prior to each meeting, they review an author's work, up to 10-12 pages double-spaced, then discuss it at the next session. The group also shares resources, exchanges ideas, and holds literary events to present their work publicly. Registration is required. Registrants will be emailed a link to access the meeting before the event. Please register for one session only ; once you join the group, subsequent notifications will be sent directly to your email. Also, new members will receive access to the writings at their first meeting. Please feel free to join the meeting ~10 minutes early to check your connection, settings, etc. OLNEY WRITER'S GROUP MEMBERS - SELECT PUBLISHED WORK ON OLNEY LIBRARY'S "LOCAL AUTHOR SHELF" Anthology: Thursday stories Edited by Andrew Hiller, Bryan M Byrd and Emily Wood Self published: Montgomery Writers, 2018 Authors include: Mark Ballweg, Andrew Hiller, William Jacobs, Linda Meyer, Mary Salmonsen and Emily Wood FRANCENE MARY DIANE HILL Tiny tots in tiaras and tuxedos : the life, love, and business success of Kermit B.
