Sunday, June 10, 2018, Meeting Notes

We had 3 new writers join us. It is great to see our family growing.

Katie is preparing to self-publish her fantasy novella and is in search of someone to design her cover. A couple of ideas were offered to her.

Patricia reported that the library has now added the HWG meetings to their digital display screen in the lobby. Patricia stayed after the meeting to see the Headwaters Writers' Guild logo along with the date of the "next meeting".

As part of our commitment to our partnership with the Orangeville Public Library, Marilyn Kleiber will be holding three full day creative writing workshops free to the public. These workshops take place from 10am-3pm on 3 Saturdays. They are September 22nd - Creating Great Characters; October 27th - Save $ By Editing Like a Pro; and November 24th - How to Self Publish. We hope and expect group members will attend one or more of these workshops.

Last fall the Library provided the group with information regarding their new Biblioboard online tools for writers. They would like to meet with our group. As there was a switch in leaders this week, we are proposing this meeting take place at our regularly scheduled group meeting on Sunday, September 23rd. As we are unclear as to what this new program entails, everyone is encouraged to attend if possible.
