Hellenic Writers' Group Meetings in September

We hope you have had a good summer and are refreshed and relaxed! We had a chance to visit family in Florida this summer (Tarpon Springs and Clearwater Beach) and enjoyed the sun and the beaches.

Our writers' group is starting up again in September, 2015. Here are the following dates:

1) Hellenic Writers' Group meeting - Saturday, September 19, 2015 at the Hellenic Center off of Democracy Blvd. It starts at 10:00AM and finishes around 12:00 PM.
      - We will share our writing
      - Discuss/plan  the upcoming "Meet the Author" for October.
      - Cover some writing techniques.
       - Writing exercise
       - Go over future events.
2) Poetry Group meeting - Saturday, September 19, 2015 at the Hellenic Center right after the Writers' Group meeting. (12pm - 1pm)
        - Share our poetry
         - Go over poetry techniques
         - Discuss future "Poetry slam" event for November.
3) Hellenic Writers' Workshop meeting - Saturday, September 26, 2015 at the Hellenic Center off of Democracy Blvd. It starts at 10:00 AM and finishes around 12:00PM.
           - This workshop is limited to those who have written works that are longer than 20 pages (includes short stories, novels, memoirs, nonfiction) and would like to have them critiqued. It requires commitment of time, as we all will send in our works at least a week before the meeting to give everyone a chance to read and comment. The session meets at least once a month, if not more, from September - December. Then it will resume in March and go until June. This will allow everyone time to write and also bypass the inclement weather during Jan-Feb. If you are interested in joining this group, please email Patty at: patty@pattyapostolides.com
As always, there will be refreshments at these meetings, and plenty of smiles!
If you have a friend that you would like to bring along who might be interested in joining the group, please feel free to do so. We are bilingual and speak both English and Greek.

Looking forward to seeing you all again!
Patty
