We urge all
writers to join . . . no matter whether you're just starting, have finished a
novel, or have been published. You're invited to experience the member benefits
of social networking on the free FWA Network site, attend the annual
conference, receive our quarterly magazine and our monthly eNewsletter, and
enter our writing contests. 
Find a Writers Group near you (there are over thirty around the state and in North Carolina) and attend monthly meetings and Critique Group meetings. You can strengthen your writing, publish, and get paid. It all starts here . . . we can help.
Welcome to the
wonderful world of Florida Writers Association (over 1,000 members and
growing). http://www.floridawriters.net/Home_Page.html is where you’ll find all the info you need to participate in this writing community and links to others
They’ve got something some groups don’t…mini-conferences and membership payable yearly, bi-yearly, etc…so investigate their site to see what’s coming up near you.

Life is Florida and life in Hawaii is similar in many respects. However, we have no writing groups on Kauai, the northern-most island. Am imaging quite a few writer's groups abound in Florida and, for sure, I'd be a member of one if I lived there. It's a huge beautiful state. I passed through once on the way to living in Puerto Rico. Of Course, I didn't see much from the airport layover. But my son was once stationed in Ft. Walton Beach on your panhandle. The pictures he sent back were magnificent. White sand beaches, rolling ocean... love it!
ReplyDeleteIt's been five months since I moved away, but I believe I still belong to FWA, although I now live in PHX and belong to AWA. I don't know who wrote this blog, but it was a nice experience when I lived in FL. Multiple chapter events to attend in the Tampa Bay area. Good speakers and contacts. A great way for beginning writers to get their feet wet.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info. I am in a similar writers' group (though it is all women...called Women Who Write) in New Jersey. It offers conferences, multiple critique groups, and most importantly, support for writers of all levels. Being part of a writers' community has been a terrific experience! On a different note, Florida has tremendous diversity from north to south and from east to west. Definitely a fascinating place to visit!
