If You Write Romance and You Live In Edmonton…

If either of the above apply to you, click on this link.

I’m starting a local support group for Edmonton area romance writers, because the city has no romance writing groups at all. I had a wonderful coffee session with a local writer the other day, and suddenly realized how much I missed getting to talk shop on a regular basis. Online chat is wonderful, but it’s not the same thing as face to face conversations that can roam across the industry inside an hour. Edmonton as been always underserved in that regard, so I’m attempting to address the issue.

If you’re based in Edmonton or know of an Edmonton area writer who might be interested in professional support and assistance, pass this link along to them.
