First Fridays

Hunt and Peck meets every Friday at 1:00. However, Olde Orchard Restaurant, our usual meeting place, does not have internet. So we will be meeting once a month at the Bethany Public Library for some workshops related to writing and illustrating. Some future topics include social media, creating a web site, permissions, author visits, book trailers, contests, and how to get reviews.
Anyone is welcome to attend, but if you don't regularly attend the Hunt and Peck Friday meetings, please contact Marla to find out where the meeting that week will be held.
