Cost: FREE

17 – Louisville Online Social
Louisville area writers and illustrators are welcome! 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
Cost: FREE
