NOTL Writers’ Circle
was launched in March of 2013 to bring together people in our community who love to write. Our group is diverse; novices to professionals, men and women, from a variety of backgrounds. It is this diversity and the richness of experience that brings vitality to our meetings. Being part of a writing community that supports our efforts and provides us with constructive feedback, keeps us motivated and challenged. Our Goals:
We meet two Sundays per month at the NOTL Public Library. In addition to our critiquing meetings, we have regular workshops and open mic sessions. If you would like to join us or be put on our contact list to be informed about upcoming events, contact our Co-ordinator – Hermine Steinberg at notlwriterscircle@gmail.com or call 289-868-9601.
