Happy New Year!
The Winter Street Writers have had a busy 2016!
While our writers continue to write, and publish on
our blog, we have also written for the Beverly Historical Society Chronicle,
attended the Newburyport Literary Festival and submitted our works to various
online and print publications. We were
also thrilled to welcome four talented writers as guests to our blog as well as
several finalists from the 20th Annual Teen Poetry Contest sponsored
by the Beverly Public Library.
Our reach to other community writers continued this
fall when we hosted the very first Winter Street Writers Workshop! It was great
fun writing alongside the enthusiastic group that attended. We look forward to
hosting more events in the future.
On a sad note, 2016 also brought the loss of our dear
friend and fellow writer Ken Roy. Ken brought much joy to our meetings and when
he shared his stories, it was easy
to see the rambunctious young man he was in his youth. We will miss his
humility and humor.
We would like to thank
the Beverly Public Library for their continued support and use of their
facilities. We especially want to thank all of YOU, our readers, and the over
420 followers of our Facebook page!
In January of 2017, the
Winter Street Writers turns four years old. We have seen many changes and
growth in our group and in our writing these last four years, and look forward
to more progress and an increased connection to our community and other North
Shore writers in the future.
We wish everyone a happy, healthy and creative New Year!
With Appreciation,
The
Winter Street Writers
