WELCOME TO WRITE ! IN BUCKS COUNTY

This blog is for all the authors in Bucks County, PA. There has been a need for a place to find what writing events are going on locally.  A list will be posted for each month of all events in every area of interest to writers. Critique groups, workshops, conferences, book signings, memoir groups etc. There will also be an author page to feature local authors.

I will list events I know of starting in October. However there are many I do not know about, and here is where you the reader can help. If you belong to a writing group, know of classes, or have any information on writing, please send it to me at: writeinbuckscounty@gmail.com

It may take a few months to get this up and running with full listing, so please be patient. If you sign in to follow with your email address, you will receive a notice when a new listing is posted.

Any information you submit, please include the contact information of the person in charge, the website if there is one, and the date, time, and place of the meeting.
