February 2016 Calendar of Writing Related Events updated 1/30

Greetings writers and would-be authors! In case you hadn't heard, we have recently published our second e-book, entitled WINTER WRITES. It would please us no end to have our wonderful collection of original, never before published stories delivered to your PC or Kindle. Twenty five people worked for almost three months, over hundreds of hours crafting this and we believe that $4.99 is a small price to pay to help support not only the writers but also our wonderful library. One day you might be able to say  "I knew you when..." For many of the writers this book is their first time being published. How cool is that?  If you're interested, simply click on the book icon to the left of this post.

Below is a bare-bones listing of local writing related events to be held in the Whitesboro library unless otherwise noted.  Events are all free of charge and open to the public. The editor's job is getting more and more time consuming so if you know of any book signings, lectures, etc. that may be of interest, please message us either on Facebook (Whitesboro Writers) or email us at whitesborowriters@gmail.com .


Keep checking for event updates, but most of all, stay healthy and safe and  KEEP WRITING! It's good therapy!
