23 JUNE MEETING NOTES

Nine people attended:  Glenda, Melodye, Rosie (read Chapters 5 & 6, On Thin Ice), Shari, JoAnn, Julia, Burt, Casey, and Jonathan (read Chapters 6-8, Bummin’ It).

News & Notes

We’ve returned to our traditional Thursday meeting night at Panera Bread, 2467 Park Avenue, Tustin (in The District at Tustin Legacy). We’ll continue to start at 6:30 PM so we have time for three readings. Consider purchasing a beverage or snack in support of our generous hosts.

Glenda pointed us to this online article about the current market for short stories: http://kriswrites.com/2011/06/22/the-business-rusch-short-stories/.

SCWA is hosting author Dennis Palumbo (WRITING FROM THE INSIDE OUT) at its July gathering. (Maddie and Glenda first heard him speak at one of Barbara de Marco Barrett’s “Pen on Fire” salons in Newport Beach, and both members speak highly of that presentation.) For meeting specifics, visit the SCWA website.
