About us
Hi everyone. This is a group for everyone in the Detroit Area (and Michigan area) who like to write. Whether it's a novel, short story, poem, autobiography, or any other general genre of writing, this is the place. Share a piece of your writing or get advice on it, plus ask for marketing, promotions, and networking tips. Most of all, have fun and learn about writing, publishing, marketing and publishing. We are now apart of the Motown Writers Network, so if you'd like to also become a member of the largest Michigan online writing organization, please go to our website: http://motownwriters.com This list gets a lot of emails a day, so if you could when you join, please put your receiving on DIGEST, so we won't clog up your email. Our official website for this group to meet online and discuss things is at: http://facebook.com/groups/motownwriters and mainly meet at the Detroit Public Library (Main Campus) in Detroit every second Saturday of the month except November.
