Your MMMWriters coordinators will be meeting in a totally casual mode to kick around how things seem to be going, what seems to be of more interest (should we drop this or add that?), and come up with at least a few ideas for next year (which will be here quicker than seems chronologically possible).…

Join in and meet a panel of editors — Cristen Iris (whose July MMMWriters session was very popular), Stacey Smekofske (presenter at our August meet), and Gretchen Mullins (one of MMMWriters coordinators). Come to this online meeting with your questions ready for these editors. (You can also submit questions ahead of time, when you register.)…

Thrillers, at their most basic, are a nightmare meld of mystery, action, and our worst fears come to life. They are etched in vulnerability, steeped in suspense, and loaded with pivots, menace, and heightened action. In this fast-paced (of course) presentation we’ll cover the thriller writer’s toolbox and discuss how these twisted tales, while kin…

Just like trailers can build excitement for an upcoming film, book trailers can help promote your book. In this zoom presentation, Patricia Marcantonio will show how to get started using words, images, video and music. Participants are invited to send in a log line for their book to patriciamarcantonio66@gmail.com and Patricia will choose one to create a…

Too many authors state it’s the bane of their existence and the thing that (literally!) stops them from writing, from being a successful author. Colleen M. Story will join us — and we are terrifically pleased to have her with us. Normally, you’d need to be at a national writer’s conference to hear her share…

Join us on our Third Thursday Zoom to hear from one of MMMWriters’ coordinators — Sherry Briscoe. Sherry, who’s participated in as well as organized numerous book fairs, will talk about how to get readers to the author’s table at a book fair, including things authors need to consider before showing up, what they need…

Many writers in our state and region are familiar with Stacey Smekofske. Her company, Edits by Stacey (“Pen. Polish. Publish”), specializes in coaching authors and enabling them to reach their goals — whether the traditional route, via indy, or as a self-publisher. At our March Zoom meeting (always the third Thursday), she’ll speak to “Shifting…

In February, for Third Thursday Zoom, we’re please to host agent and author Elizabeth Kracht who’ll speak on “How to Get and Keep an Agent.” The hour-long session will include both a presentation as well as a chance for you to ask questions of an agent. What have you always wondered? No stranger to local…

Zoom meetings return: third Thursdays (so 16 January this month). Interested in or have any questions, or curiosity, about forensic archeology and anthropology? We’re delighted to feature Samuel Smith (who writes as Joe Idaho, and who is one of our MMMWriters guide/coordinators). Here’s the plan: I want to provide some insights into how anthropologists approach…

NOTE: These have been suspended due to lack of interest as we explore other options for supporting you in your writing journey. As promised. So what is a “write-in” anyway? It can be different things, depending upon your focus and needs: It’s just one hour long, and I hope you can join us. In-person write-ins…
