PWR News
Folks are often surprised to learn that The Published Writers of Rossmoor club's official name is The Published and Aspiring Writers of Rossmoor, meaning that membership and participation in club activities are not limited to published writers. The club's mission is to help writers of all stripes--fiction, nonfiction, novelists, poets, memoirists, short story writers, children's book writers, journalists, etc.--established and novice alike--with the process of writing, publishing, and promoting their works. To that end, members assist and support one another. The club schedules writers and industry speakers to share expertise on various topics at meetings on the first Saturday of each month, from 10am - Noon, in the Fairway Room at the Creekside clubhouse. Non-member visitors are always welcome to attend these sessions for a $5 fee.
Past 2024 speakers have included:
A compiler of an anthology of baseball stories, an author of several traditionally-published mystery series, a chronicler of long-distance bicycle riding, the writer/photographer of a coffee table book, an author of nonfiction historical sagas, a publisher of memoir photo books and an expert in the self-publishing industry. These speakers addressed the interests and concerns of accomplished authors as well as writers working on their first projects, and those simply considering writing as a pursuit.In summary, don't wait to be a published writer before joining the Published and Aspiring Writers of Rossmoor.
