Editing and Writing Services
One of my hopes for those of us in The Women's Writing Circle is that we can network and share our professional expertise. Obviously, we would not ask a doctor to see us for free, nor should we ask a seasoned writer or editor to help us with our writing projects for free. It was through "The Circle" that I met the editor for my memoir, Again In a Heartbeat. I paid for her work and she has been an invaluable asset in helping me become a better storyteller.
Please consider this when asking one of our members to critique or edit your work. Even creative people need to eat. Thank you.
And, as always, our read-arounds at Wellington Square Bookshop on the second Saturday of the month are free. Hope to see you there!
The best to my Sisters in the Writing Circle.
