Patricia Hymel, the new editor of the Clarksdale Press Register, was the guest speaker at the Delta Writer's Association monthly meeting. She discussed the future of the the paper, new changes and opportunities for 'stringers', freelance writers to write articles on social and special interest subjects. Ms. Hymel also discussed the Profile Magazine 2009 that will come out in February. This unique magazine will be a coffee table booklet that will profile local people, places, businesses and special interest groups in and around our community.
The new Editor has invited our community writers to work with her and her staff at the paper to create a personalized neighborhood paper. Our members were excited and ready for their assignment. Patricia also asked for ideas that we, or others may wish to write about or read about. She encouraged us to communicate about our interests. The staff of the paper had also come up with a list of possible subjects that they would like to possibly see in print.
The Delta Writer's Association now meets on the first Saturday of the month at 9:30 am at the Northwest Regional Medical Hospital's private room in the cafeteria. We invite all that are interested to attend. We also have a crtique group that meets on the third Saturday of the month. Next month we plan to have a Mardi Gras membership party and special guest speaker. The DWA also will be hosting a Spring Convention that will highlight special Mississippi authors and guest speakers. The Delta Writer's Association is a member of the Mississippi Writer's Guild, a very prestigious writer's association in Mississippi. For more information, you can call 1 800 381 2306.
