Northeast Texas Writers Organization

2008 Writer's Roundup - NETWO's 22ndt Annual Writers' Conference
in Northeast Texas

The next NETWO meeting will be at the Western Sizzlin' on July 10, 2008 starting at 6:30 p.m. Come join us.

We will have the anthology, A Treasure Box, at the meeting. Great book. Be sure to pick up a few!

As usual, we'll try to start at 6:30, so if you want to eat, come a bit early, grab a bite to eat, and visit with other writers..

It will also include a critique session, so bring something to read (about 10 minutes). Of course, that's not necessary, but it helps improve your writing. If you need more information, call Georgia at 903-856-6724.

Here are some pictures from the 2008 NETWO Award Dinner April 26, the conference wrap-up.

Regular NETWO meetings are on the second Thursday of each month. They are generally held at the Western Sizzin' Restaurant. From I 30, take the US 271 exit (regular 271, NOT the Business 271 exit) -- that's exit 160 -- and go south about 1/2 mile. Western Sizzin' is on the right. Just ask for the room with the writers.

A short business meeting begins at 6:30 pm. A program follows the business meeting. This may consist of a critique session, a speaker, a tutorial, or a workshop. It's a good idea to bring a something to read -- maybe 10 - 12 minutes long.

If there is not a specific location for the next meeting given at the top of this page, call Georgia at 903-856-6724 or check back here if the next meeting is still a couple of weeks away. Sometimes NETWO may meet at another site - say for a special party or celebration.

If you join NETWO, you will receive a monthly newsletter which will always give the location of the next meeting, as well as information on activities, and usually some samples of writing from members.

NETWO is always looking for new members. If you have an interest in writing, come visit a meeting and see how friendly and helpful NETWO members can be.
