Meeting reminder - Dec. 2

Yikes! My email contact list has disappeared. This would have been my email, had I been able to send it:

Just a reminder that the Oshkosh Area Writers Club will meet at 10 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 2, in the lower level conference room of the Oshkosh Public Library.

Our annual holiday party will be held at the following meeting, Dec. 16. Please bring a wrapped gift (something you already own but never use) for our white elephant gift exchange. The person who receives your gift will use it as the basis of a writing prompt, if that helps you decide what to bring.

Lastly, the Thank Goodness NaNoWriMo is Over party will be held at 6 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 30 in the First Floor Reading Room of the Oshkosh Public Library. Finished or not, enjoy some snacks and share your stories.

Congrats Joyce!

Club member Joyce Frohn has been busy! She recently had several pieces published in Page and Spine, including the nonfiction articles  “You Have a Press Pass, Now What,” “How I Fight the Imposter Syndrome,” and “Headliner Writers Headline.”

She also published “Orange Table in the Corner” in Spaceport and Spidersilk, and a short story, “A Most Moral War” in the anthology Love ‘em, Shoot ‘em.

Night of Writing Dangerously - Nov. 18

As part of our NaNoWriMo events, The Oshkosh Area Writers Club will host The Night of Writing Dangerously, Saturday, Nov. 18, from 6 to 11 p.m. at the Oshkosh Public Library.

An excellent opportunity to catch up on your word count and commiserate with other writers!

Meeting reminder - Nov. 18

The Oshkosh Area Writers Club will meet at 10 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 14 in the lower level conference room of the Oshkosh Public Library. The downtown businesses will be hosting a Grinchmas event so you may want to leave early to allow time for traffic, parking.

Congrats to Louis!

Thrilled to announce member Louis Clark has won the 2017 Midwest Booksellers Association Prize for Poetry, for his book, "How to be an Indian in the 21st Century," published by the Wisconsin Historical Society Press.
