Winter Street Writers' New Year's 2015 Update

Happy New Year to all! We are glad to report that this January, 2015, the Winter Street Writers turns two years old!

A look back on 2014 features much productive action and reflection. Examples range from our continued practice of workshopping and critique to our new blog that posts our original work weekly and our Winter Street Writers Facebook page that keeps us connected and current regarding creative writing events and literary information.

This year, members of our group published articles in Boston Parents Papers, The Beverly Historical Society Chronicle, North Shore Children & Families, Rockport Arts Association, and online at the Peabody Institute Library's food blog, Nourish. Also, some members who write poems were selected to read original work at popular readings such as The Improbable Places Poetry Tour, staged by Montserrat College of Art in Beverly.

A common and pronounced thread tying all our time spent together is the positive, creative energy that we feel alive and at work in our meetings. Perhaps one of the best highlights of getting together is our shared laughter and jokes — they often serve as inspiration for future projects and for life in general. Furthermore, we are proud to announce our expansion to nine group members.

A most sincere thank you goes to the Beverly Public Library, as well as to our readers, of course. We at Winter Street Writers wish everyone a happy, healthy, and creative New Year!

All our best,
Liz
