Yippee! The newest Chapter of the Mississippi
Writer's Guild is up and running in Clarksdale, MS.
Newly named the Delta Writer's Association with respect to the Delta , its history, culture and presence of its magical influence on its writers. What a joy!
Our first meeting was just a month or so ago, but already people are excited. We have ten members and many more to come.
We meet the 3rd Thursday of the month at 6:30 at the historically, inspiring Cutrer Mansion, also the home of the Coahoma County Continuing Educational Center. We also have a critique meeting on the first Sat of the month at the Resthaven Restaurant
at 9 am. For further information you can call 1 800 381 2306 or email us at deltawritersassociation@yahoo.com. We welcome all that are interested in writing, sharing their writing and ideas and speakers for our group. Listeners are always welcome too!
We are currently sponsoring a literary contest with the theme Tennessee Williams or the Delta to win entry to the Festival Sept 25-26 in Clarksdale, MS. We are looking for fiction or non-fiction, poetry, short story or one act plays, approximately 1200 words to be submitted on or before September 16 via email at deltawritersassociation@yahoo.com or faxed to 662 253-4931. Any questions, please email or call.
As president, I am looking forward to a very literary Clarksdale!

This is a terrific, enthusiastic group! I look forward to continued association and to seeing some posts. It took me a while to figure out this system. Hopefully others will chime in soon!
