President's Corner
For three decades our group has offered camaraderie to writers with a focus on developing creative skills and attaining publication goals.
Weekly meetings vary in content from writing skills, genre topics, Indie and traditional publishing, and Write-In Nights to open readings with feedback. We have frequent guest speakers and help co-ordinate several critique groups.
Non-members are welcome to attend. Membership is only $25 per calendar year (January 1 - December 31). Dues can be paid by check or online at this website. Membership benefits include assistance in publishing manuscripts from Word documents on Amazon as e-books or trade paperbacks. Members also have early access to reserve one-on-one reviews with agents and editors at the annual conference.
The 2019 Flathead River Writers Conference will be September 14 & 15. We are considering a one-day workshop before or after the conference. I would appreciate your input on a workshop. This will be our 29th annual conference.
The 2020 conference will our 30th anniversary and we are already working on an outstanding group of presenters for that event. If you are interested in volunteering to help with the conferences, committee meetings will be posted on this website. We will have one in late January.
I encourage input from members including suggestions for speakers.
Have a great year of writing.
