At our April meeting, Shreveport Writers Club welcomed a visitor who is actually a returning member: KATHY FREEMAN, poet and fiction writer.
MARIE BRASS's Flash Writing topics elicited much spirited writing and JUNE DOWIS's Writers' Tips encouraged us to become confident and comfortable in articulating who we are and what we do.
Making a Mark pens went to JUNE DOWIS, BARBARA MOORE, MARIE BRASS, and MARIAN POE for various kinds of submission of work since the March meeting.
The majority of business discussed dealt with fine points of the 2009 contest. Final guidelines will be distributed at the May meeting. After that, contest rules will be posted here and our PR guru BONNIE MCEWAN will begin to publicize this year's event. Here's a teaser: categories include two for poetry, two for fiction, and one for non-fiction. Start picking out work you want to enter or creating something wonderful that's new.
Since 1935, Shreveport Writers Club has been a support group for writers. SWC includes writers from all stages of life. Many of us are published authors of fiction, non-fiction, or poetry. Others simply enjoy sharing their thoughts in written form with other people who love words.
