Downtown Branch: Chattanooga-Hamilton County Bicentennial Library
Improving your Craft
This meeting is free and open to the public

Join us for a workshop session for writers of all genres. Joyce Walters will discuss Stephen King’s book On Writing. Ray Zimmerman will lead two activities for writers wanting to structure their journaling experience and develop a journal as a source of raw material useful for refinement into nonfiction, fiction, and poetic works. Award winning poet KB Ballentine will lead two creativity building activities she has used with participants in her Open Mic Night program. Sherry Poff will read an exemplary work by a Pulitzer Prize winning author. This last can serve as a model for any writer developing their craft.

The presentation by Joyce begins Writers’ Resource, a new feature for our monthly meetings. Members are welcome to volunteer to lead a short (no more than ten minute) discussion of a resource that has proven valuable to them in developing their craft, learning about writing opportunities, or publishing their work. The Writers Resource presentation will precede the regular program. Any member interested in giving a Writers’ Resource presentation at a monthly meeting should contact Ray Zimmerman, Vice President (znaturalist@yahoo.com).

Other Announcements:

The new Daytime Group will meet twice per month, on the second and fourth Thursdays of each month, at 1:00 PM in Room 303 of the First Presbyterian Church on McCallie Ave. For more information, please contact Joyce Walters.
