Milwaukee Writers Workshop

Our next meeting is 6:30pm Monday, August 10th at the Wauwatosa Public Library (second floor, conference room #5). We'll be reviewing the final Destalis chapters 31-35 (Conflux thru Empyrean). Use the Final Review critique form. Find both the chapters and review forms at www.destalis.com.

Hey Everyone,

I just wanted to put in a plug for Boone's Marketing Presentation at 6:30 on Monday, August 24th at the Wauwatosa Library Conference Room #5.

Boone is going to be providing an overview of the writing process (from the initial idea to how to spend the money you'll get from optioning the film rights) with an emphasis of what to do with your story once it's been critiqued by the people at the MWW and edited for the final time. Since it is being given at the novels group session, he'll be talking about agents and query letters and publishers. However, since the process is essentially the same for all forms of writing (with slight variations), the session should be applicable to most members and should offer some insight as to how you can move your writing from a great story to a great PUBLISHED story.

Hope to see you there...with one caveat. There's only enough space in the room for 10 to 12 people, so I'd like to request that those who take up those 10 to 12 spaces are seriously considering joining the novels group moving forward.

Thanks

Pat Lafferty

Our next meeting is 6:30pm Monday, July 27th at the Wauwatosa Public Library (second floor, conference room #5). We'll be reviewing Destalis chapters 25-30 (Incarceration through Revelation). For this week, fill out the Mid Review Form. Find both the chapters and review forms at www.destalis.com.

In the awesome wake of WriteCamp, we've decided to continue the atmosphere of a collaborative writing effort by putting together an event called WriteHouse. This will be a much smaller event than WriteCamp, but it will be no less impactful.

What is WriteHouse?

WriteHouse will be an afternoon and evening of writing, critiquing, collaborations, and project building for writers of all kinds. Unlike WriteCamp, there won't be any formal sessions, but we hope that some folks will offer some table talks about their expertise or experience.

If you have any ideas, questions, offers, please let us know. We're looking for volunteers and sponsors (as it will be another free event). For more information, visit www.writecampmilwaukee.com (or check back here, as I'll be updating both). You can always contact me with questions, too.

Cheers,
Boone

Just as an FYI to everyone in the group (and the community), Bucketworks has decided to find a new home. Thus, they will be closing their location on 6th & Vliet until they can find said home.

With that in mind, we will be moving the short story group to the Anodyne Coffee Roasters on S Kinnickinnic Ave until further notice.

Most likely in August, we'll be allowed to start using the space at Gravity Marketing and be able to host all of our groups there. I'll keep folks posted with the regular weekly updates.
