16 AUGUST MEETING NOTES
Eight people attended: Burt, Casey, Glenda, Joanne, Lance (read 1.5 chapters from Hot Pots), Maddie, Rosie, and Steve J. (read two revised chapters from The Lamia).
News and Notes
[NOTE: Corrected to connect writer presentations to the writers’ retreat vs. Talk it Up.] Maddie alerted us to two different programs sponsored by the OCPL Foothill Ranch Library:
- Talk it Up! lets readers and authors get together to talk about the books they’ve read and to meet other readers. No reservations are required. This event runs at 1-2:30 p.m. on the third Tuesday of every month.
- A monthly writers’ retreat meets at 10-4 on the first Saturday of every month. It provides a comfortable, calm space with available wifi and refreshments for writers to work away from distractions. An author is invited each month to give a presentation about writing to other attendees. For more information, contact Stella Carruth.
The Foothill Ranch Library is located at 27002 Cabriole in, natch, Foothill Ranch. Visit the library’s website for schedules and more information.
The next LIT UP! is happening at 7:00 p.m. on 21 August at Kean Coffee, 13681 Newport Av. #14, Tustin. You can download posters here (1-up and 2-up). The lineup:
- Crime novelist David Putnam.
- Horror and technothriller writer Steve Jackson.
- Historical fiction author Anne Moose.
As always, be sure to check the LIT UP Facebook page for the next LIT UP, and details on past authors and programs.
