It's official!
The newest guild at Okefenokee Heritage Center has begun!
A dozen brave souls have formed the Writing Knights of the Rectangular Table, and are ready to engage the world in wordsmithery. A varied group including bloggers, novelists, fiction writers, newspaper writers and columnists, cartoonists, illustrators, nonfiction writers and humorists, were all gathered together to learn, inspire and entertain.
We hope to attract guest speakers, including professional writers, publishers and copyright lawyers.
We are going to pursue grants, and discover and inform about resources available to us.
We will be creating writing contests open to the public at large.
We will be encouraging the reading and presentation of writing samples from members, both to give practice and critical review (in a friendly manner, of course).
We are creating a Facebook page and group, in order to keep each other informed and share writing projects.
And we have a long range goal to create a literary magazine, something that can show the best of the area's writings, art and photos.
So take up your pens, fellow guild members! It's going to be an exciting journey!
