Rough Writers

The Crossroads Arts Council is pleased to announce the beginning of a writers’ group called “The Rough Writers.” We decided to call ourselves that because this is not a group of professionals; some of the writing might be fairly rough! We are people who want to share our writing, encourage and help each other, and improve our skills.

We will meet at the Crossroads Arts Center on the second Tuesday of each month at 6:00 pm. Any kind of writing is welcome—fiction, nonfiction, poetry, memoir, essays, and more!

It's OK not to be OK.

For more information about this group, please contact Deborah Bowman at deborahbowman12@yahoo.com.

Volunteers are needed during times of the quilt show.
