Do you have friends or family who like to read?
Then buy them a WriteOn Joliet anthology (you thought I was going to recommend the BryonySeries books, didn't you)?
WriteOn Joliet is a welcoming, diverse group of
writers of varied skills, interests and experience. The group includes
professional journalists, fiction novelists, bloggers, screenwriters, musicians
and poets.
She has since moved on (married, children, single mom, and now a nurse, yes during COVID - she's awesome), but Tom Hernandez stepped up, and we've continued to grow, although WriteOn has met on Zoom for most of the year.
Because of Tom's suggestion, WriteOn Joliet has published an anthology every years. This is the first year we were not able to host a release party (complete with free chef-created food), so I'm pushing a little harder to let people know about us.
The anthology is a fundraiser for WriteOn Joliet, and all proceeds stay within the group. We've used the money for speakers, workshops, and marketing our writers.
Except for the "baby cheetah" special edition anthology, all of our anthologies are called "Write Where We Are." That means all the pieces are where we, as writers, currently find ourselves in our respective writing journeys.
Readers will find poems, essays, short stories, novellas, novel excerpts of varying styles. Any reader should be able to find at least one piece to enjoy. Those who purchase the book can have the satisfaction of knowing they've helped writers become more effective in communication, whether they seek to inform, inspire or entertain.
And, yes, you will find excerpts from some of my books, too.
The only anthology not yet on our website is the newest one, released in the last couple weeks. You can find it here.
For the other WriteOn Joliet anthologies, go here.
And if you want to buy all of them, message us writeonjolietgroup@gmail.com, and I'll work out a discount with you.
