Thanks to Tom for passing this tip on to us: There's a Facebook page named "Calls for Submissions (Poetry, Fiction, Art)" that lists places that are accepting submissions. It's a closed group but it has over 35,000 members so they must not be too picky about who they accept!

Meeting reminder: Jan. 16

The Oshkosh Area Writers Club will meet at 10 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 16 in the lower level conference room of the Oshkosh Public Library. As always, meetings are free and open to anyone age 17 and older.

This might be a good time to mention the library now sells steaming hot coffee for $1.50 a cup. Three flavors to choose from; available at the First Floor Customer Service Desk.
