December 2016 Calendar of Writing Related Events

Greetings, fellow writers. The following meetings scheduled for this month are shown below. If you know of any other events not listed, please send a message  to whitesborowriters@gmail.com and we'll update this post. All events listed are free of charge and held at the Dunham Public Library, 76 Main Street, Whitesboro, NY,  unless otherwise noted.

Our new ANTHOLOGY is available for sale on Amazon. For full details see LAST DARN RITES e-book on our blog.  A portion of the proceeds from this and all of our books is donated to our library.

If any of you have ideas about expanding the writing group options, we'll do our best to accommodate you. Someone suggested forming a non-fiction writing group but we have yet to see it materialize.

As always, keep writing!
