WriterHouse Public Events

»Nanowrimo Kickoff, Sunday, Nov. 1, 2-5pm—Hosted by the Charlottesville official Municipal Liasons, Rachel and Sophia. Get to know the other area Wrimos, get stoked, and then get writing! We’ll probably meet and greet for an hour or so and then settle in for some serious writing. If you have leftover Halloween candy, bring it along and swap candies you hate for candies you love. We’ll also have soda and a bag or two of chips — if you feel like contributing, please do! Drop Sophia a note so she can keep track. If you haven’t already signed up, make it official!

»Literary Journals from Both Sides of the Transom, Saturday, Nov. 7, 2:30-4:30pm—Editors and writers enjoy a symbiotic relationship. How do they find each other? What can writers do to facilitate a “good match”? Linda Fritz, editor of The Delmarva Review, Thom Didato, Publisher and Founding Editor of Failbetter.com and Barbara Esstman, an accomplished writer/teacher and a contributor to The Delmarva Review in 2008, will compare and contrast their experiences in literary publishing, share their insights, and answer questions about how to get your work published.

NaNoWriMo in Charlottesville?

November is National Novel Writing Month, (NaNoWriMo) during which thousands of people sign up to write a novel of at least 50,000 words. While most of these words are penned in the privacy of the novelists’ homes, there are usually organized events during the month. These might include a launch party, group writing times, and an ending celebration. WriterHouse has offered its facilities for all NaNoWriMo participants during the 2008 competition. Now we just need to figure out what the participants want. If you’ve done NaNoWriMo in the past, please get in touch. If you plan to do it this year, ditto. We’ve set up a mailing list for Charlottesville NaNoWriMo folks. Sign up to be in on the discussions of these weighty matters.
