Book Club
Wonderland Book Club, facilitated by Alice Osborn, NC Writers Network Co-Sponsor
Join us the last Friday of every month to discuss literary fiction and selected nonfiction. I read like a writer, so this group is especially attuned to aspiring writers. I believe you need to read a lot of good books before you can write them!
Where: We meet at Center for Excellence 3803-B Computer Dr., Raleigh, NC 27609 Here’s the MeetUp Link
When: 10 am - 11:45am It’s FREE! Please e-mail Alice if you’re interested in joining us.
“Listen, writers: If you are serious about your craft, Alice’s workshops will equip you with tools necessary for honing your skills. Besides being a master wordsmith, Alice is a compassionate, nurturing guide who provides a wealth of resources. After attending one of her workshops, I reworked a problematic story which recently won honorable mention in an international competition. I continue to refer back to Alice’s notes, now part of my ‘writing road map.’ Wherever you are on your writing journey, Alice can provide what you need to reach your desired destination!”—Fran Haley, Educator, NC
