Every serious writer aspires to literary success and recognition, and along the way, we all need inspiration. Join us on October 7th at the Willamette Writers Writing Center (3121 S. Moody, Portland) from 7:00-8:00 pm.
Emmett Wheatfall is just the speaker to inspire. Attendees can expect motivation, powerful quotes that stir the heart to write, and a lively mix of lecture and robust conversation. As Emmett reminds us, every serious writer should pant like a deer thirsting and searching for a water brook.
