Newsletter One

Welcome to the new site of the weekly newsletter of the Henderson Writer’s Group!

We enjoyed a good meeting this Monday at the Lutheran Church on Tropicana. Five readers shared their material, there was a book drawing (as always), and a good handout about suffixes.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

There are only TWO WEEKS remaining before the deadline for anthology submissions. Please email Audrey at audrey101 [at] aol [dot] com with your submission. Remember, only ONE submission per member. It should be 4,000 words or less, and it can be any genre (poetry, nonfiction, excerpt from novel, essay). Standard formating please: word document, 12 pt font double spaced, one inch margins…

There is a free MEMOIR WRITING WORKSHOP coming up at the Las Vegas Family Search Library at 509 South and 9th Street. It’s a four week course held from 10:30 to 11:30 on Fridays, starting on the first Friday of each month.

BRAGS:

Congratulations to Sydnee Elliot on the recent release of her book, which is available as a free download on Kindle this weekend.

QUOTES OF THE NIGHT:

“It’s a metaphor, so just live with it.”

“This was the end of my novel, which I then made the beginning of my novel, and then decided that I didn’t know if it should even be in my novel.”

UPCOMING EVENTS:

Next Monday (October 21st) is the regular Monday meeting, at 6:30 p.m. in the Coffee Shop on Water Street. Next Wednesday (October 23rd) is the West Side meeting at Skinny Dugans.
