Get your writing
group out of its rut and back into a funky new
groove. Critiquing
since 1988, the Write Sisters will show you how to retool and
refocus your group.
We'll explore how to identify your group's strengths,
principles, and goals - and
how to turn them into a business plan/mission statement the
whole group can
implement. We'll cover ways to keep your group connected and
moving forward.
You'll leave with a plan of action and plenty of ideas on how to
ignite and refocus
your group for maximum effect.
