A Light Crowd Hears Lots of News

Sum­mer vaca­tions finally caught up with the DFW Wri­ters’ Workshop as a light crowd atten­ded the July 28th meeting.

In the news, Nik Hol­man recei­ved a par­tial request for his novel The Boy Who Wasn’t There from agent Brandi Bow­les. Del Cain had two poems accep­ted by Cross Tim­bers maga­zine. A. Lee Mar­ti­nez announ­ced Gil’s All-Fight Diner and In the Com­pany of Ogres will be relea­sed as a com­bi­ned book by his Ger­man publisher. In addi­tion, Mar­ti­nez has a book sig­ning for his newest release, Divine Mis­for­tune, this Satur­day, July 31 at 10 a.m. at the Bor­ders books­tore in Arlington.

In offi­cial news, trea­su­rer Jeri Bur­bage dis­pla­yed a new form that mem­bers need to com­plete to receive reim­bur­se­ments when purcha­sing items for the Workshop. Sec­re­tary Kyle White advi­sed this blog and regu­lar mee­tings are now the source for all mem­ber news, inc­lu­ding inc­le­ment weather clo­sings (but we all know DFWWW never clo­ses — not mat­ter the weather). Finally, Pre­si­dent Rus­sell Con­nor sta­ted a party will be held on Octo­ber 27th to cele­brate the recent miles­tone of 300 tra­di­tio­nally published books writ­ten by Workshop mem­bers. It’s sure to be a big event.
