August 2016 Calendar of Writing Related Events

Thanks to Susan Hansen of Dunham Public Library for compiling this information!


Greetings, fellow writers. Please be aware of the following meetings scheduled for this month. There aren't many listed below, so if you know of any other events please send a message and we'll update this post. All events listed are free of charge and held at the Dunham library, unless otherwise noted.


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 come to fruition.

Some ideas for the year ahead are to publish a new e-book based on characters that the Plotter’s Ink group is working on.


We still have 3 e-books for sale on Amazon! Just click on the links on this page and you'll be on your way to the Kindle store.
As always, keep writing!
