What We Do At Our Meetings

What do we do at our meetings?

The Awesome Author's group meets weekly (so far on Tuesdays at 6:00 PM at the Kearns Library in Kearns UT). Authors in this group may work on and submit for review any kind of writing including Novels, Screenplays, Peotry, Short Stories, Non-Fiction, and so forth.

In each meeting, we talk about our writing projects and hear advice and comments from other members of the group about how to become better writers and work our way to publication. We occasionally have visits from Published Authors who also give great advice. We bring small selections of our work (such as a chapter of a novel) which we trade with each other.

If you would like to join us at our next meeting, please bring five printed copies of a small selection of your work for others to take home and review. We will review each other's work individually, between meetings.


Here is our basic agenda:

6:00 - Each member gives a brief update on their current projects. We will also meet new members and hear about what they are working on.

6:15 - A "Writing tip of the week" is given by a member who was assigned the week before. (This will come from a Writer's Manual or a Writing tips book.)

6:30 - We discuss group policies and procedures and vote on any changes which may need to take place. Changes to how our group runs can by made by majority vote in any meetings where at least five members are present. We also talk about new tools available to us, ways that we can better work with the public, and so forth.

6:45 - Near the end of the meeting, each Author distributes their five copies of their work to five other authors, who will review them over the week. Each Author also recieves about five copies, which they will review as well.

See you at our next meeting!
