Happy New Year!

We of Winter Street Writers are amazed that another year has gone by -- and we are delighted to  announce that our writing group turns three years old in early January of 2016! This past year our writers continued to publish in local publications and advanced their personal work in fiction, non-fiction, memoir and script writing, while contributing to our group blog. 

Two of our writers have become members of the Cape Cod Writers Center and attended the three day conference in August. It was an amazing experience interacting with other writers, editors, agents and publishers while learning more about the craft of writing and the ever-expanding world of publishing. The enthusiasm of this conference spilled over into our meetings in the fall and we have devoted some of our time into researching the many avenues of publishing with the goal of publishing personal works in the future.

One of our greatest accomplishments this year has been engaging more readers and we are proud to have over three hundred of you liking and following our Facebook page! It has been a lot of fun sharing information pertaining to the love of writing and reading, as well as keeping you all informed of events in our North Shore communities. We thank you for your encouragement and support. We would also like to thank the Beverly Public Library for allowing the Winter Street Writers to continue to use its facilities as our home base.

We wish all of you the happiest and healthiest of New Years and look forward to more progress in 2016!
