The Summertime Speaker is Author Barbara Wright, who will speak on Monday, July 8, 2024 on Zoom. RSVP with your first and last name to CastleRockWriters@gmail.com. Wright is the author of a new book entitled Anny in Love.
Castle Rock Writers also offers workshopping sessions each season of the year. Workshopping dates will be posted soon. Information on these sessions follows below.
Castle Rock Writers invites you to workshop your poetry or prose pieces. Or attend online and give input to others. Email manuscripts double-spaced, 12-14 points, with 1’ margins, by the Friday evening before the event . CRW will send the electronic documents to participants to read before the Monday evening Zoom meeting. Poets may send in up to five poems (less than 10 pages), and prose writers may submit manuscripts up to 10 pages. Or bring 1-2 pages to read aloud.
The group will be asked to share what aspects of the writing worked for them as readers. Next, the participants will share what confused them or what they would like to see in a rewrite. We will end on a positive note, emphasizing the strengths of the work. This will not be an in-depth edit or a session where general statements about an author’s work will be made. Our workshopping events should send writers off with encouragement and ideas for future writing without discouraging them.
