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
