2021 Writing Group News & More

 Hello, Writers and Readers,

* * * Writing Group News * * *

It's winter and, until further notice, semi-quarantine times continue in Central New York. Maybe you miss writing and getting together in person at Dunham Public Library to hear and critique each others' stories. I know I do, and we hope to resume that in the future.

While our host library is observing Covid protocols (currently closed except for curbside pickup as of this month), be assured that some of our writers are busily honing their craft.

We invite you to rejoin us as a contributor, or join us anew, as we wait out the pandemic.

Meanwhile, have a peek at what we did in January, 2021. Feel free to comment on our stories and essays.

If you've tried, then you know that submitting your work to traditional publishing houses can be a demoralizing and grueling process. There's a lot of competition. Few get lucky enough to be granted a hard copy book contract for years of work.

An interesting phenomenon is taking place in publishing, and it's more than blogging, more than self-publishing on Amazon and the like. 

Thanks to the internet, online novels are the latest thing. Six of us members of Whitesboro Writers wrote a book, mostly via email, and we have recently begun to publish it in weekly installments on a dedicated blog, free of charge, to anyone who wants to read it. The "PpwN" project began 5 years ago, and continues to evolve. Kindly take some time to visit our book at this link:

We hope to entertain you like never before. 

Stay well, and keep writing.
