In case you missed the November newsletter here are the announcements.
| A Message from the Editor Despite an announcement to the contrary, I am surprised to inform you that I will continue to produce the monthly newsletter for the time being as we recruit a new Editor. I have already taken on duties as Program Director. We will also be moving away from Constant Contact for email distribution in the near future. As Program Director, I am pleased to provide you with an update on our program planning process. Last month, I convened a meeting with two other board members who agreed to serve on the program committee. We designed a program calendar for the year. A copy of the calendar will appear on our web page later this month. I believe we have planned a diverse offering of programs that speaks to the varied interests of the membership yet offers a few new ideas you may want to consider. – Ray Zimmerman We have divided the programs into three interest areas. Two are subdivided. 1. Publishing and the Business of Writing 2. Writers in Collaboration A. Music B. Graphic Arts C. Healing 3. The Craft of Writing A. Fiction B. Creative nonfiction, including memoir C. Poetry D. Writing for Children The Chattanooga Writers Guild Presents “The Intersection of Music and Writing” 7:00 PM, Tuesday, November 9, 2021.
