Write here at Motueka - WHAM!
Motueka Library’s writing group meets every third Wednesday of every month from 12 noon – 2 pm. The next meeting is on Wednesday
18 January.
Let us help stimulate, motivate and promote your writing, so that you can produce, perform and publish. This is about new writing, from new writers, so: dust off your keyboard; track down those haiku you wrote on your phone; dig out the novel that’s buried in your desk drawer; sit down and finish that film script.
Come and work with other writers and get helpful feedback. Get serious about editing, formatting, and submitting for publication. Come during your lunch hour to write, read your work, and get instant responses. Coffee and tea are provided – bring your lunch to munch while you participate.
Everyone is welcome to join this group. Attendance is free. For more information contact Bettina at [email protected].
