November 19th Meeting
Join us for our November meeting at Cascade Pizza with Lynne Pearson
​
Cascade Pizza is for November only,
2431 Meridian St
​
In my class What’s Love Got To Do With It? I instruct writers outside the romance genre about how introducing romantic elements can add layers of depth, emotion, and complication to mysteries, thrillers, sci-fi, fantasy, and other fiction genres.
We start with a discussion about what’s expected in a romance, go into the beats on the romantic arc, and how to add elements to a story for more depth.
Lynne Pearson is a freelance fiction editor who found her calling in 2015 when she realized she wanted to help writers improve their stories. She earned a certificate in editing from the University of Washington, is a member of the Editors’ Association of Earth and the Northwest Editors Guild.
She publishes fun, flirty, feel-good fiction under the name Lynne Hancock Pearson, and has woken many a morning with a book hangover.
We have a new location for meetings this year, except in November, when there is a conflict. We will announce that location separately. Jalapeno's at Barkleys has graciously waived the room fee for their banquet room for us. We will need you to RSVP to ensure they have the correct number of staff.
New to WWP
Welcome, Pacific Northwest Writers!
We meet every fourth Wednesday from September to June in scenic Bellingham, WA. Supper starts at 5:30, and the speaker starts at 6:30-7.
Dues are 25 dollars a year or 40 for two years. We use the dues to pay for our speakers to come from around the region, and for an occasional table at local writer events. Our dues year runs from September to June, like our meetings, but will roll over if you pay late in the cycle. If you want to try us out first, feel free. Speakers in the past have included WA Poet Laureate Rena Priest, author Robert Dugoni, and agent Donald Maass, covering topics such as social media, self-publishing, memoirs, mixed media, poetry, fiction, and nonfiction. It is our goal to offer something for everyone, no matter your place in the writing journey-- just starting or long-published. Old school or new. If you have an idea for a speaker or topic, let us know, but if it has been covered recently it might not be picked up.
