OPEN CALL- LAST CHANCE! Our fourth ANTHOLOGY is in the works and is nearing completion. For full details see LAST DARN RITES e-book .

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

We would like to remind you that our e-books, HALLOWEEN MUSINGS & AMUSINGS, WINTER WRITES and BEST of WHITESBORO WRITERS 2011-15 are still available on Amazon.  Just click on the links on this page and you'll be on your way to the Kindle store.
