6:30 for the talk
Put Drama and Tension into your writing by asking the right questions
A short presentation interspersed with writing exercises. Ask yourself the questions every author should address before putting pen to paper. Time for sharing will be included.
Why tell this particular story?
Does it offer a unique perspective?
What is the Question my story is trying to answer?
Who is my audience?
How vulnerable do I want to be?
How does this story relate to my readers?
Come prepared to share (write) a scene at least three paragraphs long and share it with one other person—or with the group.
This scene can be fiction, although the emphasis of the presentation will be on writing memoirs.
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.

25 for 1 year
40 for 2 years
40 for couples
