Hang with Me at the Writers’ Loft
The writing journey is much more fun together! If you want to hang with me at the Loft, you might find me in some of these ongoing groups: the Stitch and Pitch, where we chat all things writing and crochet or knit or craft; the Query Support Group; the Self-Publishing Group; the Productivity and Accountability Group; the monthly Craft Chats. Check out our calendar and email the writers loft —writersloftma (at) gmail (dot)com— to get onto the email lists to grab the zoom links!
Can’t wait to see you at the (Virtual) Writers’ Loft. And once the global health crisis is over, I’ll see some of you in person!
