Events
We want to start a... Writers' Group We may have enough interest in our little corner of the world to start a writers' group. If you live in the the Frankfort, IL area and are interested in participating in a working writers' group, please drop me an e-mail with the following information. Your name (of course), your genre and when you are available to meet. We want to keep the group small. If necessary, we will set up multiple groups based on genre. Remember, this is a writers' group. The purpose is to encourage and critique each other. Each participant will be expected to produce and share pages every month as well as participate in critiques. I will facilitate the group until it is up and running on its own. If this sounds just like what you're looking for to jumpstart your creative process, drop an e-mail to dg@dgwriting.com.
