MOUNTAIN WRITERS MEETING IN WAYNESVILLE, NC
1) From our idea man Bob: Our July meeting follows the July 4 weekend, so when we get together let’s talk about fireworks. Not the explosive kind, unless you’re speaking metaphorically. Let’s talk about passion and subtext and intrigue and how to inject those things into your story. We’ll borrow some advice from the romance writers, so that should be fun. Join us for “fireworks” at noon on Tuesday, July 9, at Panacea coffee shop for the next meeting of the Mountain Writers of North Carolina.

Novelist and poet

Under Pressure: Creating Complex Characters in Poetry and Prose
You don't want to miss this great opportunity to get to know and to learn from a well-published writer of novels and poetry. She teaches at the JC Campbell Folk School and is a regular presenter at conferences. We are fortunate to have her come to our area and for such a nominal fee because she is sponsored by NCWN-West. Her novel, Red Clay, is one of my favorite books. Read about it on her website.
Nieman graduated from West Virginia University and Queens University of Charlotte. A former newspaper reporter and editor, she now teaches creative writing at North Carolina A&T State University and at venues ranging from the John C. Campbell Folk School to WriterHouse.
