July 17 – Speaker Series – Host Susan Purvis and Guest
Zoom meeting from 6pm to 8pm

Author Debbie Burke hangs out in bad company. Her thrillers feature terrorists, murderous con artists, and greedy billionaires. Reviewers call her villains “chilling”, “torn from the headlines”, and “disturbingly human.”

Now Debbie has written the definitive new book about villains: The Villain’s Journey-How to Create Villain’s Readers Love to Hate.

Debbie will talk about “The Different Flavors of Villains” featured in her book.

This taste is a preview of her one-day workshop at the 35th Annual Flathead River Writers Conference on October 3, 2025.

July 24 – Moderator Dixon Rice – critique and open readings
Your own prose aloud, someone else would gladly read for you. You are invited to our Open Readings at 6 pm at Glacier Unitarian Universalist Fellowship.

Plan to read up to 6 pages if there is a light crowd; otherwise, 2-3 pages, double-spaced with 1″ margins.

If you have a few pages, you’d like input on, make about 8-10 copies to pass out, and bring them along. Plan to read up to 6 pages if there is a light crowd, otherwise 2-3 pages, double-spaced with 1″ margins. If you’re shy about reading aloud your own prose, someone else would be glad to read for you.

If you don’t have anything to present, please come and share your enthusiasm & experience with the readers. We were all newbies at one time…
