September meeting

The Adamastor Writers' Guild, a long-running Cape Town-based F/SF/H writers' group, will be holding its September meeting on Saturday, September 3, at 10am at Baran's, on the corner of Burg and Shortmarket streets.

If you are an aspiring author of fantasy, SF or horror fiction, and feel you need a bit of guidance in your craft, feel free to join us for a few hours' of talking shop, writing exercises and advice. We have authors at many different stages of publication in our group. You don't necessarily have to have anything already published to be part of the action.

You don't need to feel like you create in a vacuum. Participation is voluntary and, unlike many things in life, the advice you receive here is free.

Our meetings are loosely structured, with the emphasis placed on dialogue, constructive criticism and support. All you need to bring is your enthusiasm, paper, pen and some cash for a cuppa joe or something light to snack on.

If you're keen, do drop me a mail at nerinedorman@gmail.com and let me know that you'll be dropping by.

May meeting

It's time for the guild's next monthly meeting. Please bring your manuscript for critique, a good dollop of enthusiasm and some bright ideas, and spend a handful of hours with your fellow wordsmiths as we commiserate or congratulate each other. We're guaranteed not to get all glassy-eyed when you expound upon your protagonist's quirks. Fresh faces with a love for F/SF/H fiction are welcome.
Date: Saturday, May 7
Time: 10am until about 12.30pm
Venue: First floor, Baran's, corner of Shortmarket and Burg streets, Cape Town
RSVP: email me at nerinedorman@gmail.com
