What to expect
What takes place at an ACFW North Georgia meeting? Lots.
Every monthly meeting contains the following segments:
- Introductions (Don’t worry about who you don’t know – we wear nametags!)
- Good news (Everything from getting a rejection to landing a contract to simply getting some writing done)
- Writing-related Devotion
- Industry News (Stay up on the latest happenings, contests, and conference news)
- Tech Tip (Computers, social media, Scrivener… there’s so many things that can help with your writing and we’ll help you use them.)
- Writing Tip (You’ll always go home with SOMETHING that can make your writing better.)
Each month will also bring in a speaker or panel of some kind to guide us in our learning. Check out the Schedule below for a list of upcoming speakers and topics.
