Starting in September, Write On! will be moving exclusively online! The August Write On! Meeting, next Wednesday, August 11, will be the last one at Barnes & Noble in Santa Monica. Please join us for cake and conversation!

I have really enjoyed leading the live group over the last 8 1/2 years, and am looking forward to taking Write On! to the next level. There will be a Blog Talk Radio show once a month, a rotating review column starting Monday, and other exciting additions. Stay tuned for info on upcoming live and online events. I hope everyone will continue to participate and spread the word.
