Though one half of The Complete Guide to Writers Groups, Conferences, and Workshops comprises listings of organizations, resources, and educational programs for writers, it is not your typical guide to writers workshops. Instead, it is a guide to what to expect from being in a writers group. The subject matter may seem obvious to all but the beginner, and the writing a bit workmanlike, but for the novice there are some interesting pointers. Why do writers join writing groups? What is expected of a group member? How do I give (and take) criticism? What do I need to know to set up my own group? Perhaps the best thing about writing groups, says author Eileen Malone, is that "when other writers are expecting to hear at the next meeting what you've written that week, you've got a compelling reason to get down to work." Amen.

Tucked amid talk of facilitators, rewrites, envy, and mentors are some interesting bits of trivia. "The term freelancing," we're told, "dates from the Crusades of the 12th century when warrior knights who lost alliances with landed lords offered themselves as mercenaries--a lance for hire." We learn that Edmond Rostand, author of Cyrano de Bergerac, liked to write in the bathtub, while Raymond Carver composed in his car. And, before they became the household names they are today, Cynthia Ozick and Joseph Heller wrote advertising copy, Kurt Vonnegut wrote press releases, and Amy Tan wrote horoscopes.

Book Description

A source for writers to get plugged into the literary circuit "Literature is like any other trade; you will never sell anything unless you go to the right shop."––George Bernard Shaw The act of writing is a solitary craft. The process of getting anyone to read it, however, requires a lot of networking and support. Eileen Malone provides writers with a convenient directory listing writer's groups, workshops, and conferences as well as why they are needed. Aspiring and published writers in every genre of fiction and nonfiction will find this book invaluable for staying in the literary loop.

*Lists the names and addresses of 400 writer's conferences, courses, seminars, and workshops *Includes information on the major national and international writing organizations *Offers up-to-date information about online writer's groups

EILEEN MALONE's (Colma, California) poetry, short stories and articles have appeared in over 200 publications in the US and UK. Her twenty years of teaching experience include the California Poets in the Schools Program and the California Community Colleges.

I used this book like a bible and searched around for a good writers group for me but nothing measured up and I know that because I used the book to help me evaluate my needs and what each group was providing. Consequently, I started up my own group, again using the book as a guide and now we all use the book to settle differences and improve ourselves as we grow. It is an excellent guide and one that keeps on giving. The only thing we would like is to have the list of resources in the back of the book updated to include websites and e-mail addresses, otherwise, it is just about perfect.

Dated, but perfect for what it is supposed to be 2. November 2000
Von Heather Hale - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Half the book, granted, is outdated lists (of the constantly changing contact info and deadlines for all of the conferences and workshops, which are easily accessible via the internet now, anyway).

But the other half of the book alone is still worth the purchase price. I wish someone would do an updated version of it.

I read this book several years ago when I started SOC (Screenwriters On-Line Cooperative) and it was instrumental in helping me define our culture, goals, and structure (i.e.: what to look for in a writers' group, what to expect, how to form one, how to GROW one, etc.).

I still recommend that all new members read it, so we're all on the same page as to how to benefit from - and contribute to - a good writers' group.

I also use it as a reference in my screenwriting classes to help students offer constructive criticism to one another - and how to best incorporate the myriad suggestions and insights they receive themselves.

I have loaned it out several times - and now must buy yet another copy!

If Eileen wrote it, it's worthwhile to read 9. April 2008
Von June P. Ahern - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch
Eileen Malone knows what she's talking about, not only as a writer but as a teacher. Ms. Malone walks her talk by creating an atmosphere, in classes and in writing, of the importance of a friendly supportive writing group to move you forward as a writer. Her style is straight forward information with good resources (yes, outdated) that one can seek out. As she said, Amy Tan herself realized the importance of such a group. I have been to several like groups but never did I feel the intense dedication as in Eileen's classes to support the uniqueness of a writer. Read her "how to's" and you feel inspired to continue with your writing. I must say that because of her I ventured to write my first fictional novel, The Skye in June, due out soon. Thank you, Mz. Teacher.
