                    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.
