Hello, my name is Joan Ellen Gage. I serve as your Admin for the NCWN-West's blog.
I am searching for a replacement for my Admin position. What we need is someone who can post articles for the NCWN-West that relate to events or to member reading or news.
Some familiarity with Google blogger is helpful, but not necessary. The position requires some basic computer skills, and blogging skills.
This is a volunteer position and does not pay a salary.
Please contact me at iamjellen1953@gmail.com or Glenda Beall, at: glendabeall@msn.com

Poet Karen Paul Holmes to read at Coffee with the Poets & Writers, Wednesday, July 18, 2018, at the Moss Memorial Library, Hayesville, NC
On Wednesday, July 18, 2018, 10:30 AM, Coffee with the poets
and writers will feature poet Karen Paul Holmes. This event is sponsored by the North Carolina Writers' Network-West, a program of the North Carolina Writers' Network. It will be held at the
Moss Memorial Library in Hayesville, NC, and is free and open to the public.
An open mic will follow the reading. Holmes is a local favorite and will be sure to have an excellent following.
Karen Paul Holmes splits her time between Atlanta and the
Blue Ridge Mountains. She is a former Vice President-Marketing Communications at ING, a global
financial services company, but now leads a kinder gentler life as a freelance writer and poet. Holmes
finds joy participating in poetry readings and supporting poetry.
A member of the North Carolina Writers' Network, the Atlanta
Writers Club, and the Georgia Poetry Society, Holmes has studied with poets:
Thomas Lux, Denise Duhamel, Dorianne Laux, Joseph Millar, William Wright, Carol
Ann Duffy, and Nancy Simpson (whom she counts as her first poetry mentor).
Holmes has two full-length poetry collections, No
Such Thing as Distance (Terrapin Books, 2018) and Untying the Knot (Aldrich
Press, 2014). In 2012, she received an Elizabeth George Foundation emerging
writer grant for poetry. She was chosen as a Best Emerging Poet in 2016 by Stay
Thirsty Media. Publications include Prairie Schooner, Valparaiso Review, Tar
River Poetry, Poet Lore and other journals and anthologies. Holmes hosts a
critique group in Atlanta and Writers’ Night Out in Blairsville, GA, which she
founded. She also teaches writing classes at the Folk School, Writer’s Circle,
and other venues. Please find Holmes' links here:
