Writer In Residence - Melody Richardson
The Muskoka Writing Circle will start a new format on October 16. The group will become project oriented. Creat writing assignments for yourself: writing an article to submit to a magazine or newspaper, create a book of poetry to sent to a publisher, write a short story for a specific completion, work on a novel. The group’s role will be to critique your work, listen to your query letter, hear your marketing strategy. It doesn’t have to be a new project each month, bring your work-in-progress each time you come. Want more information? Contact Melody at 705-788-3143 after 6pm.
