16 – Online Social for Louisville area writers and illustrators
We will catch up with each other, offer encouragement and tips for improving craft, and share work. There will be time for several authors to read a portion of their work and receive feedback. (Authors are given approximately ten minutes for their turn, so each will have to decide how to split their time. More reading equals less time for feedback. Around 250 - 500 words seems to work well in the time allotted.)
Time: 11:45 am - 12:45 pm EDT
Location: Online on Google Meets
Cost: FREE

Plus, we will leave a little time for food and/or drink at Libro (the restaurant in the bookstore)!
