Now a Member of W.O.R.D.
ANNOUNCEMENT! Granbury Writers’ Bloc is proud to announce that we are now members of W.O.R.D. – Writers Organizations ‘Round Dallas (https://www.wordwriters.org )
WORD is a network of 30 writing organizations in North Texas consisting of over 1,000 people interested in and involved in all aspects of writing, from critiquing to editing to screenwriting to education and even more exciting stuff like contests and conferences.
GWB’s membership in WORD will afford our members access to a large pool of like-minded individuals with which we can network, and from which we can continue our growth and learning of all things writing.
We look forward to seeing GWB’s ‘teardrop’ on their map along with all our fellow organizations.
Reminder
Don’t forget Monday August 28th’s meeting – we’re electing new officers, and we have an exciting program presentation by Jeffrey McClanahan…
Election of Officers at August Meeting
