Our next writers' group meeting will take place June 18 from 1-4pm vis Zoom. If you're interested in attending, or becoming a member, please contact the director Patty Apostolides at hellenicwritersgroup (at) gmail.com
Membership is free and open to Greek and Greek American writers.
Typically, our schedule has been the following:
1pm - Share our poetry and essays (I will send a writing prompt before)
2pm - Craft of writing lesson followed by a writing exercise
3pm - Critique of manuscripts that were submitted to Patty a week prior (up to 15 pages, sometimes we accept 20 pages) - Critique members submit their works and also read and review each other's works - from the Iowa workshop method
We are in the process of collecting short stories for our short story collection (if you're interested in submitting, let Patty know), and that will be the main focus for this last meeting of the season. Then we plan to have critique sessions July and August for our short stories (through Zoom). Only open to active members of HWGW.

Latest Book Release from our member:
Dr. Diane Helentjaris's book The Indenture of Ivy O'Neill is now available!
Synopsis:
Ivy O'Neill's idyllic childhood ends in disaster in 1690 when red-coated soldiers cross the Celtic Sea to invade Ireland. While the O'Neill family struggles to survive on the Irish coast, George Stokely is building a life in the British Colony of Maryland. All he needs to make his Chesapeake tobacco farm thrive is more help. The Indenture of Ivy O'Neill is an immersive story of courage, the meaning of family, and the transformative power of immigration.
