Carroll Chapter Meeting - Saturday May 11, 2024   |  1:00 - 3:00 |  In person at the Finksburg Library in Finksburg, MD 

Common Errors Writers Make But Can Easily Fix + First Line Frenzy

We are lucky to have presenter Kimberly Hunt of Revision Division back to offer two unique presentations in one. The first hour will focus on common errors writers make but can easily fix which will also include a few minutes for Q&A.  The second hour is devoted to our first ever First Line Frenzy.  For those not familiar with this concept, attendees will be given an opportunity to write down their first line of their work in progress, via slips of paper we will provide, and place it in a fishbowl. Then in rapid fire succession, the first lines will be read out loud and workshopped by our guest speaker sharing feedback on what works and or what maybe falling flat with tips on how to elevate it to hook the reader.  It is a very fun and positive experience and hope to see you at May's meeting!

(Attendees are encouraged to bring their own materials to take notes)
