New Writer's Group

Have you always wanted to write a novel, the one that you know is inside you? Or maybe it’s a memoir of an interesting life, or a children’s book. If that’s the case, Wilks Library’s new Writer’s Group is the place for you. Meeting once a month, the group welcomes all writers. It doesn’t matter your level of experience, whether you’re a beginner or have been at it for a few years. It doesn’t matter what you write. Here you’ll find the kind of help and support that comes only from other writers. The most important thing is getting feedback on your work. Writing is solitary and it’s hard to know if what you’re doing is any good. Oh, your mother says it is (of course), but mothers aren’t impartial. Other writers are. A group like this can be invaluable.

The group will be led by librarian Mary Kruger, a published author of romance and mystery novels. Meetings will be held on the first Thursday of every month, at 6-7:30 PM. The first meeting is on November 5th. For more information or to register, call the library at (508) 991-6214. The Wilks Library is located at 1911 Acushnet Ave, New Bedford. Membership is limited, so reserve your place soon!
