COMMUNITY
“It’s a wonderful group with a lot of really great people,”
he says. “I try to support local by carrying works from local
authors.”
The text that is read in each meeting is derived from all
different genres of writing — not only welcomed but highly
encouraged.
Co-founder Peter Haase, who is currently in the publishing
process for his 10th book, has even utilized a fellow member’s
editing expertise.
Upward of 25 members attend the weekly meetings held on Thursdays. Each
writer brings along several pages of copy and enough copies to go around
for members to read.
“For one of my books, Allan Ramsay edited and did a wonderful
job. He is a very important member of this group and
very helpful,” Haase says.
Ramsay is passionate about the group dynamic and has
been working on his most current novel for three years. >>
The owner of a local bookstore, Poetic Justice, Kris Haggblom enjoys providing
helpful comments to the writers. He says he prides himself on carrying
works from writers in the group in his nearby shop.
