We’re still hoping for life to get back to normal this year and we have a full slate of events planned. On Tuesday, February 9th our board will meet at noon at the Virginia Highlands Small Business Incubator in Abingdon. Everyone is welcome to attend. Immediately following that meeting, Vicki Fletcher will lead a workshop titled Writing TIPS. That will begin at 1 PM and go until 3 PM. Make plans to attend! We hope to see everyone there. Our next meeting will be a general membership meeting on Tuesday, March 9th at 11:30 at Shoney’s in Abingdon.
ANTHOLOGY NEWS! We will be putting out a new anthology this year. If you would like to add a short story, essay, or poem to the mix, please submit your work to Vicki Fletcher at vfletcher56@gmail.com by April 2nd. Our last anthology, Mountain Mist, had some great submissions and we look forward to another excellent group of submissions this year.
If you have events scheduled for the promotion of your books this year, please let us know so that we can help share those events with others and help promote your work. Send that info to Vicki Fletcher.
Last year was an incredibly challenging year for everyone. Despite that, we still grew the organization and had some fun. We look forward to doing the same this year and that everyone can be a part of it.
We will be welcoming back authors at the Virginia Highlands Festival. The event will be at the Higher Ed. Center in Abingdon and more details will follow. To be able to sign up for a table, you must renew or join by March 9th so take advantage of our $20 dues until then.
