Editor Don Weise is back as our guest for another salon to focus on story. Bring verbal pitches or ideas, along with all of the struggles, road-blocks, and fears you are facing with your writing. Don will provide personal feedback and guidance based on his years of experience working as an editor. Work can be any genre or format, but will need to be presented verbally through our roundtable discussion. Also, you do not need to share if you do not want to. Often a lot can be learned from hearing feedback on other people’s work.

Roundtable discussion on story will start at 6:30pm sharp, followed by a mixer at 8pm with free drinks (wine, seltzer, tea, coffee) and snacks. This event is 100% FREE and OPEN to all LGBTQ writers and allies, as well as all Paragraph members (we know you are all allies!).

Please RSVP now!
