Capturing the serenity and creativity that came with the forming of Scriveners in New Jersey, The Writing Room - Eastside Tucson is open.
For serious writers whose writing may or may not be so serious.
The Writing Room offers 2 hours of quiet time for writing with other writers. Any genre. Minimal talk time. Maximum writing time with NO interruptions.
Imagine no cell phone calls, no laundry, no To-Do list.
Number is limited to the number that fits around the dining room table.
We'll meet twice a month.
Next event: Tuesday April 9, 2013. 11:3 AM- 1:30 PM. NO fee. I'll have coffee. Bring your laptop or writing pad. Reservations required. Contact me.

INTERESTED FOR YOUR GROUP?
BOOK IT — BOOK TALKS, READINGS, AND WRITING PROGRAMS - for your writing group, book club, writing fans.
For the time I have to entertain and engage your audience (hour talk, half day/ full day seminars), I organize the talk by:
- Engage- Hear excerpts for entertainment and share the upbeat feeling of freedom I enjoyed with my twin sister and in our family during our childhood summers. This works for groups that are really stressed and just want to relax, and be entertained.
- Involve- Read/write for interaction. Share chapter excerpts that directly address twins, siblings, and family dynamics. This works well with groups that are very verbal, want to share, question, or compare their family experiences. Quick writes and share as desired.
- Read as a writer- Discussion of the writing process and memoir in particular. The process of writing, researching, rewrites, edits, sharing, and revisions. Five elements key to memoir. See first drafts, workshop results, final drafts, and manuscript submission, proofs, and the book. An interactive program with writing prompts and sharing.
Each approach includes a Q&A directly related to the book or topic.
