Gulf Coast Writers Group
From Kathy Nixon
From a member of Peace River Writers, which has joined with the Gulf
Coast Writers group to highlight writers from Naples to Bradenton at a
weekend gathering at the Lakeside Inn in Mt. Dora, FL from Friday
September 27-Sunday September 29. All writers are welcome
There is no cost to participate, but you must make a reservation to
stay at the Inn at a cost of $99 for one night, $89 for a two night
stay, or $79 for a three night stay. The Lakeside Inn phone number is
352-383-4101. If you are interested, you must tell them you are with
the "Gulf Coast Writers" for the special rate. The town is beautiful,
and there is plenty to do besides the book festival, so it might be fun
to bring a spouse or to come with another author.
Tables will be displayed in the lobby of the hotel throughout the
weekend with your own table space and signings planned for both Saturday
and Sunday. On Saturday and Sunday mornings there will be a
storytelling hour with readings by children's authors. Book signing
events will be from 11 a.m.to 4 p.m. And there will also be talks on the
writing craft during both days. At 6:00 there is a three-course dinner
for all writers--with a special price.
If you are interested in attending, you must first call the Inn for
reservations to be sure there is an available room. Then you need to
e-mail Ken Feeley--with the Gulf Coast Writers to let him know you are
going. His e-mail is klfeeley@embarqmail.com and his phone number is
239-992-2726 if you want to attend

We attended the picnic last year and had a great time meeting with other writers from the area. We had several people say they wanted to attend and did not. This is a great event to bring your books and meet new friends.
Please mark the day on your calendars.

Aug 5th Meeting
For those of you who missed the Aug 5th meeting you missed a great meeting. We had a first time visitor and hopefully new member Mr. David Metcalf who made several contributions to the meeting in the form of comments from his vast writing experience.
We also had our first visit by Ms. Amy Hibbard who expressed her concern with Thursday meetings. We hope both return at future meetings.
