WRITERS GROUP CONVENTION

This Sunday, some of us from my writing group (Fairfield Writers Group-Queensland) went to a Writers Group Convention at the Enoggera Bowls Club. It was excellent. Several authors talked about their journey to publication and a number of writers groups talked about their activities.

It's so good to mix with people who have the same interest as yourself and to maybe learn something new as well. Here is a link to further information about the convention.
