WRITING CLUB WITH CHARLOTTE GUTTENBERG
This class meets online using Zoom
Has anyone ever told you, “You should write a book”? We all have a story to tell, whether fictional or non-fiction. We are all full of ideas and life experiences. But how to begin? How to settle on a topic? How to stay organized? Maybe you want to write about your life to share with your family to preserve for future generations. Maybe you have a message to share. Maybe a collection of short stories. Or maybe you are creative with characters and their adventures to entertain us. How do you pull all this together?
Join Charlotte Guttenberg, published author of over 30 books. She has taught others how to release that book within and, if so desired, be able to self-publish on Amazon! She will guide you every step of the way.
The Writing Club meets online on the 2nd Saturday of the month at 10:00 – 11:00.
