Last March Meeting of the Writers’ Circle to meet at Clarkston this Thursday (3/23)!

Posted on by M. Levacy

The Writers’ Forum at Clarkston campus would like to invite you to attend their last March meeting this  coming Thursday, March 23rd, 2017, from 2:30 – 4 p.m. in JCLRC building, room 4100, (the room is located on the top floor of the library at the end of the hall, in The Chattahoochee Review office suite).

Writers’ Forum is a monthly free writing and critique group for you to receive feedback on your writing in progress at whatever stage it’s in. The definition of writing is generous for this group: poems, short stories, plays, screenplays, essays, letters.  Please bring copies to share with the group so that we can see your work on the page; usually, 8 to 10 copies is sufficient.  If you have a longer piece of writing, we ask that you bring no more than 5 pages.  You may prefer to just attend and listen; that’s fine, too.  Also, feel free to arrive late or leave early as your schedule requires.

All meetings are open to the larger community, and no fee is required.  If you have questions, please contact the co-advisor, Michael Diebert, at 678-891-3987.
