Hi, I’m taking over as president of CWC Marin from Mary Krefting, who has done a magnificent job pulling our club through a tough time.
I will run the meetings, but Mary will still help line up excellent presenters and stay on top of finances.
John Byrne Barry will keep turning out great newsletters and updating the website.
The other board members are Alison Marshall, Jett Walker, and Carmen Appell.
I’ve been a CWC member for a few years. I write science fiction. Book 1 of my trilogy, “Aliens Crashed in My Back Yard,” was just published. I’d love to connect with other club members who write — or read — science fiction.
Our June 23 program is on creating audio books, led by Becky Parker Geist. See more here. During July and August we will schedule two evening discussion groups, our Summer Salons, where participants will have a chance to read their writing and get feedback from the others. Last summer these were very powerful. We limit the salons to ten people, so sign up early. We’ll let you know the dates though the newsletter as well on our website and Facebook page.
We’d love to hear what kind of presentations you’d like. Here are a few of the options we’re considering. Please tell us which of these appeal to you, and what other topics you’d like.
- editing
- agent interviews
- the latest twists from social media for book promotion
- book conferences, how to prepare, how to get the most from them
See you on June 23!
Mike Van Horn
