Propel Your Writing To A New Level
 Writing is an isolated discipline. Each of us write alone then fire our  submissions off to editors or agents and hope some sees something worthy to be  published. Or we give it to our spouse or a friend who will only give praise and  not wise advice for improvement.
Writing is an isolated discipline. Each of us write alone then fire our  submissions off to editors or agents and hope some sees something worthy to be  published. Or we give it to our spouse or a friend who will only give praise and  not wise advice for improvement.
Every writer or would-be writer can profit from the insight and information  in THE COMPLETE GUIDE  TO WRITERS GROUPS THAT WORK. Author B.J. Taylor knows from many  years of personal experience what works. In the opening pages, she writes about  her motivation saying, "Out of desperation to keep my passion alive, I started a  writers group. The members were all writers, sure, but I thought of them as  cheerleaders. They were just what I needed to keep writing, keep submitting,  keep doing what I needed to do in order to be published."
Whether you are meeting face to face or online Taylor has detailed  information about Who, What, when Where and Why. These specifics are for every  writer. She says, "In order to be successful at reaching a wide audience, you  need to bounce your stories off others first. Your writers group can help you  fine-tune your writing so that it hooks an editor from the very first sentence.  Your writers group will encourage and motivate you if you're feeling down when  you receive that seventh nonacceptance letter in the mail. Your writers group  will listen to your second, third, fourth, and even fifth revision of the same  article, and will applaud when they feel you've reached the point where it is  finally ready to send out."(page 2)
If you are stuck with your writing and need a boost, I highly recommend you  get THE COMPLETE GUIDE  TO WRITERS GROUPS THAT WORK. Then read the book and apply the  information to your writing life. It could be your breakthrough moment if you  take action.
