September Meeting


Shreveport Writers Club met Saturday, September 26. We greeted visitor Ayanna Smith and welcomed new members Sonji Alexander and Donna Stone.


SWC member and former president, MARIAN POE, right, spoke on "Vapor vs. Concrete," and led us in some activities to practice making our writing vivid and compelling. Marian has had a long writing career and told about "reinventing" herself as a writer several times, to meet both market and family demands.

Several contest entries were received by hand at the meeting. A final count has not yet been made, but all categories of the contest "made" except that of Novel Excerpt. Only one entry was received and the entry fee will be returned. Submissions will be sent to judges in a few days. Winners will be announced and prizes awarded at the Christmas Party, December 12. Reserve the date and watch this space for more details. Contest results will also be posted here December 13.
