Do you love to write? Is writing the air you breathe, or is there ink in your veins?
The Stittsville Creative Writing Group is a collection of people who love to write.
We meet weekly to read from text we have written on our own time during the previous week, and engage in other writing activities.
This is not a class on writing, or a workshop for manuscripts. Instead, we are people who love to write and share our works.
There are those who mostly listen rather than write, those who write prolifically but only share with the group, and a broad spectrum in between.
If your interest is in the love of writing, this group may be for you.

Once your book is complete how do you go about publishing? Join independent author John W Partington for a nuts and bolts demonstration of how to publish your work as an independent author on international distribution networks. Topics covered will be the types of publishing available, dashboards of the more common distribution sites like Amazon's KDP or Draft2Digital for e-books, and some of the other joys and pitfalls which can happen when publishing your book.
