Arizona Professional Writers
Typerider Newsletter
August 2024

Have you taken to writing in the cooler hours of this neon-hot Arizona summer? I have! And I still seem to get more done pushed against a deadline.

The 9th Annual Payson Book Festival was a success although a bit quieter than in 2023. Rim Country Chapter President Connie Cockrell and her team put hundreds of hours into making the event worthwhile for authors and the public. Cue applause!

SURVEY RESULTS

To the 19 out of 75 members who responded to the survey, my humble THANKS!

I hope this information will assist our chapter presidents when they seek someone to speak at chapter meetings.

If have yet to respond, kindly look for it in your email (July 17th from carol@talesofalifetime.net) take a few moments out of your busy life to do so. What you want from APW matters to me.

This email and the survey are accomplished via MailChimp, the email services company I have used for more than a decade. I assure you Mail Chimp is a safe company.

Retreats and Online Workshops

“I think of a “writing retreat” as 2-7 days of mostly undistracted writing time at a lovely location that includes a few short writing classes, and optional interaction at other times. I think of a “writing workshop” as an interactive event with classes, writing prompts, panels, etc. These might not be your definitions, but please keep them in mind as you answer the next few questions. Are you interested in an overnight writing retreat in 2026?”

12 yes*, 8 no * Note that 14 people answered the next question!
