Workshop Members Produce 291 Traditionally-Published Books; Almost Fill the Trophy Room.

It has long been a tra­di­tion that when a DFW Wri­ters’ Workshop mem­ber publishes a book, he or she will donate a copy to the Workshop’s Trophy Room. During the August 5 mee­ting, four recently relea­sed tit­les were recei­ved, brin­ging the num­ber of tra­di­tio­nally published books to 291. In fact, there are now so many tit­les writ­ten by DFWWW mem­bers that a third dis­play case had to be added to the room. Stop by to see the impres­sive collection.    

Announ­ce­ments from the monthly busi­ness mee­ting:  Gabe Gue­rrero has been awar­ded the Glenn Bavou­sett Fund to attend a wri­ters’ workshop. Dis­cus­sion con­ti­nues about inte­gra­ting the monthly poetry group into the weekly read and cri­ti­que ses­sions. The Workshop wel­co­med eight new mem­bers in the last week alone. To keep up with mem­bership growth, the Workshop is moving more ser­vi­ces, such as paying the annual dues, online.    

In other news, Rose­mary Clement-Moore announ­ced she was selec­ted to write a monthly column about the Young Adult genre for Fresh​Fic​tion​.Com. The Hook ‘Em Wri­ting Con­test has been offi­cially launched, and the tote bags for the 2010 DFW Wri­ters’ Con­fe­rence have arri­ved. They look snazzy.
