Dear WriteStuff Writers: 

How often would you like to be able to mingle with other writers in a classroom environment? How often do you find yourself wondering if what you’ve been writing is on the right track? How often have you inquired about a writers’ group that  offers supportive feedback and a creative development atmosphere?  Would you like to meet with a professional editor/author/literary agent for a review of your work face-to-face?

If you’ve asked any of these questions, then you might be interested in contacting me directly at andymurphy@sbcglobal.net  as we are in the process of forming a new branch of WriteStuff dedicated to the supportive issues of writing and publishing.

We are on track to offer the following classes and lectures with a weekly and monthly interactive classroom instruction covering the following subjects:

• The Building Blocks of Fiction Writing
• Crafting a Nonfiction Story
• Writing with Humor
• Developing Self-Editing Techinques that Work
• How to Develop Storyline Guidelines that Keep You on Track
• Getting Started with a Personal or Family Memoir
• Understanding the Gray Areas of Traditional and Self-Publishing
• Guidelines for Finding an Agent or Publisher
• Composing Professional Query Letters and Book Proposal that Get Attention
• Understanding Copyrights and other Legal Issues 
• Personal, One-on-One Manuscript/Story Reviews with Professional Editor/Author Actively Working in Publishing
• Finding Review Sources for Your Self-Published Book
• How to Develop a Free Website

I’m excited about our new venture and hope to hear from you as we will start our classroom instructions in the Spring.

Don’t be lonely. Join our Group!
