May 2022 Writers Roundtable
Tuesday, May 10, 2022 from 6-7:30PM
Writers Roundtable
(A monthly, informal discussion where we talk about topics relevant to today’s working author)
May’s topic: “It’s All About You!”
This month’s meeting is either an opportunity to read new work,
or a chance to discuss a topic of special interest to you.
Your choice!
Everyone should have about 10-15 minutes to either read and get feedback on recent work, or to bring up a topic of their choice to discuss with the group.
We are all at different stages with different projects. But many of the hurdles we as writers face are not so different. Having the opportunity to discuss wherever you are currently at on your writing journey with other writers who are sympathetic, or may have even been there themselves, is what this month’s meeting is all about.
Think of it as your very own professional therapy session!
Moderated by current WSN President Eric James Miller
Writing does NOT have to be a solitary art!

“The Facts of Life”
(Putting Research Into Autobiography)
How does a couple research their own lives
40 years after the action in a two-person autobiographical story?
That is just one of the intriguing questions Diane Taylor will ask
Terry Marshall and Ann Garretson Marshall at this month’s meeting.
The Marshalls new book, “A Rendezvous to Remember” goes on sale February 9,
the date of our meeting! WSN members can get a preview
of the Marshalls’ book along with information on how the book came to be,
decisions regarding the book’s personal details and, yes, the research.
Moderated by Diane Taylor.

Writers Roundtable – March 2020
Writers Roundtable
(Join us for our monthly discussion where we talk about topics relevant to today’s working author.)
Tuesday, March 10th, 2020
from 6:30-7:30PM
(inside the Coffee Press at Paseo Verde Library
in Green Valley Ranch across from The District)
Topic: “The Art and Anxiety of the First Page”
Join us for our monthly discussion where we talk about topics relevant to today’s working author.
This month’s discussion will be moderated
by Greg Blake Miller of Olympian Creative.
To writers, “the first page” means two very different things—the first page we actually write, and the first page of the completed story. Both can provoke anxiety—the former is our entry into the story as writers (the anxiety of the blank page); the second is our reader’s entry into the world we’ve created (the anxiety of communication). At the Roundtable, we’ll discuss these dual points of entry, from the choice of narrative moments to the development of voice, and how the notion of “beginning” changes between the first words we write and the first words our readers read. We’ll finish the session with a discussion of the importance of the ultimate “first page” when sending out queries and story submissions.
