Pen-to-Paper
Windmore’s Pen-to-Paper Writers meet to share different genres, discuss publishing, perform readings, and to encourage young writers. The group uses art, music, writing exercises, and drama to stimulate creativity. Authors offer constructive criticism and support. New or experienced writers are welcome. Pen-to-Paper writers are working on an anthology which will be published in 2022. If you are interested in being in the anthology, come to the meeting to find out more about the process.
Meetings for Pen-to-Paper are the first Tuesday of each month at 10 AM to Noon in the Windmore Office at 303 S Main St. Call 540-547-4333 for more information.
