The SCV Chapter of SSA has an exciting year of programs in the works. Our regular meetings are held October through May on the first Monday of each month, 1:00-2:45 p.m., in the Joyner Library in Green Valley—and (other than special events) are FREE and open to the public.
October 4: Mary Ann Hutchison on "Sell Your Shorts." Former coordinator of the SSA Annual Writing Contest, Mary Ann will discuss how to enter and win writing contests, as well as markets for your short fiction and memoirs. (Perfect timing since winners of the 2010 SSA Contest will be announced that month!)
November 1: Lisa Cottrell-Bentley, author of the upcoming "Rich Author, Poor Writer," will explain how to get paid for doing what you love. "It's time to become a rich author and stop thinking like a poor writer," she says. Don't miss this exciting presentation about the different types of publishing, how to determine which is best for you and plan your writing future.
December 6: Mystery Writers Panel—We have an all-star line-up of local mystery writers, including: Carol Costa (paranormal), Elizabeth Gunn (police procedural), Mike Hayes (Mad Dog and English series), and Susan Cummins Miller (amateur sleuth, geologist series).
