Dear Member of Charlotte Writers Club North,

Louise Rockwell, our club’s visionary dynamo, worked quietly behind the scenes for many years to make sure writers in Northern Mecklenburg County had a place to call home in CWC-N. Her passing last spring had a huge impact in many circles, CWC-N chief among them.

As we move forward without Louise’s leadership, it seems timely to stop and ask writers in the area what they need and want as members of the North Charlotte writing community. Do you like a monthly meeting with speakers? Do you need help finding a critique group? Are you interested in attending or leading workshops and seminars? Would you like to have more opportunities to read your work in front of an audience?

During this year of transition, we will not be holding monthly meetings, but in November (exact date to be announced) we plan to gather together the writing community to ask our questions. And what better way to gather writers than by throwing a party – as Louise loved to say, an evening of “mirth and hilarity.” There’ll be open-mic, a chance to meet other writers in your genre, information about area events and a chance to talk about what you, as a writer, really want from a writer’s club. And of course, in the time honored tradition of CWC-N, we will have cake! As soon as we have a confirmed location, we’ll send an email reminder about the event. Please plan to join us and to bring your friends and neighbors!

Remember that as a member of CWC-N you are also a member of Charlotte Writers Club, which meets at Providence United Methodist Church in Charlotte on the third Tuesday of each month. Click here to link to the Charlotte Writers Club 2011/2012 schedule.

Hope you can join us in November – and please feel to email back with questions and ideas. As CWC-N evolves, we need input from many voices!

All the best,
The Advisory Board of Charlotte Writers Club North
