Copies of the anthology
There are still a few copies available for purchase.
Helga to bring a few copies to meetings for display and sale.
Lorraine has received an order from NSW through the ISBN database for two copies – this was unexpected but a pleasant surprise.
Lorraine – great news
Lorraine had been so impressed by a particular software that she contacted the company and told them that she had begun a book on how to improve business administration and management based around the use of the software. She was asked to send a summary of her work. The company was so pleased that they requested her to complete the book and they will be publishing it world–wide. – Congratulations, Lorraine!
Guest speaker
Carol has been liaising with Fairfield Library who is arranging a guest speaker for May/June. The Library will fund the event. It will be open to the public and held at Fairfield Library.
The likely topic will be motivational and there may be a workshop element as well.
This will be an opportunity to hand out some flyers publicizing the FWG and to perhaps sell some copies of the anthology.
Next meetings:
27 February – Novel/short story
13 March – Set Exercise
The exercise for March is poetry (any style) – theme: the Reflection in the Mirror.
Work sample for the blog for March will be Anna’s.
