NC Writers Network West - a Professional Writing Organization Now 20 Years Old

We've been Writing and Picknicking annually for 20 years. Come join us.

NC Writers Network WEST 
Celebrates 20 Years at Annual Picnic 



On October 16, 2011, 2 pm, NCWN-West or Netwest will celebrate its 20th anniversary.  All members and anyone interested in Writing or interested in learning more about NC Writers Network West  are invited.  You do not have to be a member to attend. The picnic will be in Hayesville, NC, at the Clay County Park (pavilion by the water).  

All those attending should bring a covered dish, chair, and drink (plates, napkins, and silverware will be provided). 




The meal will be followed by brief remarks from Program Coordinator Rosemary Royston, a reading from Scott Owens, and then an open mike. 

Readings for the open mike session should consist of ONE PAGE of prose or two short poems per person.  Time limit is 2.5 minutes.  In order to accommodate as many readers as possible, please time your piece before reading. Members can sell their books on the book table.



This is a golden opportunity to meet area writers and also a chance for you to come and read a sample of your writing.
