Saturday, November 14, 10:00 AMParents With Pens—New Parents Writing Group Open Book Free You've journaled in anticipation of little one's arrival, or noted gifts and firsts in a keepsake book ... you've read all that the experts have to say about your new role as parent ... but what have you written for yourself? After the tremendous transformation that occurs when we become a parent, it can be a profound experience to dive (back) into writing. Parents with Pens meets once a month to provide a supportive environment in which to share creative work. All new parents -- biological, adoptive, blended, and beyond; with a first child, or a next child -- are welcome. A diversity of genres and topics (not just those related to parenthood) are invited as well. To Register , call |
The Loft Literary Center’s first
Like many struggling writers before him, Vince Flynn worked as a bartender at night and wrote during the day. After five years and more than 60 rejection letters, he took the unusual step of self-publishing his first novel, Term Limits, which earned him a two-book deal with Pocket Books. Term Limits hit the New York Times bestseller list. CBS Films has optioned the rights for Flynn’s Mitch Rapp character, and Lorenzo di Bonaventura, who previously launched the Harry Potter and Matrix films as head of production at Warner Bros., and Nick Wechsler (We Own the Night, Reservation Road) will produce the films.
