Grammar police pencils! My weakness is who, that and which.

We’ll be there providing headshots!

A question came up another writers' social media. Would you assume a book was written with AI if the cover was AI generated?

I'd like to extend my heartfelt appreciation for last night's enlightening meeting, where Derek Bullard's presentation ignited fresh perspectives on harnessing the power of public speaking to propel your literary works into the spotlight. By embracing opportunities at conferences, club meetings, book signings, and even fleeting moments like elevator pitches, we can unlock new avenues to connect with readers and expand our audience. Thank you, Derek, for empowering us to tap into our potential.

ANNOUNCEMENT

Our meeting location will be changing effective this month! Beginning Tuesday, February 17, our meetings will be held in Room 119 of the OSU Center for Poets and Writers.

This new room is just down the hall from our previous meeting room. To get there from our old room (150), go south down the hallway and take a left at the next block of classrooms as you near the staircase. Room 119 will be in that classroom block. Don't worry - if you get turned around, we'll have volunteers to help point you in the right direction.

See you next week, NightWriters!
