Readings, Beseme Bistro, third Tuesday of the month, 7 to 8:30 p.m.

Upcoming themes:

• Food

Join us in writing a poem, song, short short story or excerpt of something longer on anything connected to this theme. Must be 300 words or fewer and please email Maribeth to let her know you plan to read. The more readers, the more fun the night is, so give it a shot. Non-guild members encouraged to participate too! Younger Writers (age 10 +) invited.

Because these nights are becoming such as success, we need to limit our presenters to the first 15 readers who indicate their desire to read (anything under 300 words) and the first three musicians. IF you want to read but are not one of the first 15 to sign up, come anyway. We’ll randomly pick an additional 3 presenters!

Night of Song and Music

We will be taking a hiatus this autumn in order to brainstorm ways that will allow us to continue presenting innovative, fun, eclectic and high-quality programs.  Look for Music on First Tuesdays to return in January!

Classes

Starting Friday September 17 ($40.00 per class)

• Novel Class 10:30-12:30 (Rehoboth Beach Location). For Writers who are serious about working on a novel in progress or starting a novel. Each week participants will write/revise another chapter/scene of their novel, based on in-class writing exercises; students receive a written critique of their work each week.  
• Nonfiction/Memoir Class 2:00- 4:00 Community Bank in Delaware (Lewes). Participants receive an essay each week that addresses some aspect of nonfiction writing. Based on the reading, participants do in-class writing exercises, which are developed/revised during the week into polished prose.  Participants receive written critiques from instructor on whatever they have written during the week.

Classes are taught by Maribeth Fischer and are limited to six students per class. Because of the small number of participants, these sessions are geared to those who are committed to the writing process-- Although you only pay for classes you attend; the understanding is that you will attend most of the classes. Email Maribeth for class descriptions.

COMING SOON: A class geared to helping writers understand better the process of reading and critiquing writing. Taught by Fiction Writer Mary Pauer, who has recently graduated from the Stone Coast MFA Program.
