Benefits of a Writers’ Group
One benefit of membership in a writing group like Pen & Keyboard Writers is the opportunity to contribute to, edit, and develop an anthology. Our 2023 anthology, Celebrating the Seasons, is also our first, but we had so much fun with the project that it definitely won’t be our last.
Where Does It Start?
Story ideas are similar to dandelion seeds blowing in the wind – looking for a fertile place to land and sprout.
Characters I Have Known
Joe Scavetti addresses questions about creation and roles of characters in his writing. Scavetti is a co-author to Celebrating the Seasons.
In the Hands of Happy Readers!
Every writer started out as a reader. None of us want to disappoint, and anything less than five-star reviews sting. One reason for joining a writing club like Pen & Keyboard Writers is to get honest feedback from our fellow writers BEFORE we send work to editors, agents, and publishers. Readers deserve to be entertained, informed, delighted, provoked and intrigued. If we can do all of the above, then we’ve done a good job!
Book Launch
The official launch event for our anthology, Celebrating the Seasons, was held at Deer Clan Books in Bethany. The book is now available in print and e-book format on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, GoodReads, Draft 2 Digital, and other on-line sources as well as on the shelves of Deer Clan Books.
Ready for LAUNCH !!
Creating a Book with Colleagues
Even with challenges, the collaboration of the group was exceptional. As the book came together the strengths of the group membership became apparent.
Excitement !!
It’s been a long and sometimes frustrating time but we’ve put together a great collection of poems and short stories.

Pen & Keyboard Writers in a Fine Pickle!
Virtual meetings are great, but it’s good to get together again for a Pen & Keyboard social! Fun lunch at Pickles American Restaurant.
Take Your Writing to The Next Level
Being in a community of like-minded people and receiving feedback can enrich beginners as well as bestsellers.
