Arizona novelists have been meeting monthly to talk about plot, character, and setting. We've read Anne Tyler's LADDER OF YEARS, Marge Piercy's SEX WARS, and Michael Byers' PERCIVAL'S PLANET. New posts are above.
   The idea is to look at models for different kinds of books: mainstream fiction, historical fiction, and literary fiction. If you don't have a writing group, or if you're just curious, feel free to look at my reading notes and listen to the audio discussion. You'll also need the books, of course.

I participate in an online writing workshop, and we're looking for a couple of new members. Your only obligation is to submit a story, memoir, or novel chapter and to respectfully read and comment on the submissions of other members. If you'd like to join this group, send me an email.
