Über uns
Writers and Scribblers is a group for writers of all kinds to learn, practice, and share the art and craft of writing. We’re based in Durango, Colorado. The group is open to those interested in writing and the publishing process. Meetings are run by using a 'pass the torch' method; everyone is encouraged to participate, but it is not a requirement. Our main purpose is to try to help each other through the maze of things you must do as writers; from writing to editing and on to publishing and marketing your books, short stories, essays, or anything else. Discussion topics will vary and sometimes repeat depending upon the needs of the members at the time. Of course, we're also here to meet some interesting folks, learn, and have fun while doing so. Writers are invited to share what they're working on with everyone, but ‘selling from the podium’ is frowned upon. We meet on the second Wednesday of each month at 6:15 p.m. at the Durango Public Library.
