Hi there, my apologies if I missed it on the site. I see you have a blogtalkradio presence, but am wondering do you also have a writing group that meets, in-person in or near Santa Monica? Thank you.
Thanks for your comment. We had a live group for 8 1/2 years in Santa Monica, but we are currently virtual-only. If you have not doe so already, please join the newsletter email list, so you can stay informed about any live events. Write On!
