Debra Eckerling - Writers Support Group

Write On!

Write On! is a Writers Support Group, focusing on goal-setting, troubleshooting, and networking with light critique. We meet at the Barnes & Noble in Santa Monica on the 2nd Wednesday of each month at 7 pm. We have a great group of people—all ages, all mediums, all genres, and all levels of experience—with a lot of wonderful energy. Most of our members live in or around Santa Monica; we have several members—people who have been to the group, but now live in other states and countries—who email their goals and stay in touch.

If you are a writer who wants to connect with other writers in an encouraging environment, this group is for you. For more info, email
me.
