The South Shore Writers Club at 15

Tomorrow, the members of the South Shore Writers Club, will gather to celebrate the club's fifteenth anniversary. In keeping with the club's informal collegiality, the day will be blessedly short on ceremony but full of the friendship and camaraderie that characterizes the club's mission of providing support for its membership of aspiring writers. Together they will share their love of writing with family and friends as they enjoy a celebratory luncheon

The showcase of the day will be the introduction of Shore Voices, the club's semi-annual anthology of its members' writing. Each of the twenty one contributors will have the opportunity to read from their work. Shore Voices includes an appealing variety of pieces as described on its end piece:

The collage of stories and poems in this anthology reflects the eclectic potpourri of genre, style and voice of each writer.


Members bring a wide range of divergent backgrounds to the club's meetings and the task of writing, but the common thread is a desire by each to scratch that itch, the challenging desire to express themselves through the written word, that so many feel, but few actually attempt to satisfy. Sitting around the meeting table, members take turns reading from their work and receiving the constructive criticism of the membership. Writing tips along with market news and upcoming events of interest are also shared. Once a year a local published author is invited to speak and share their insights into the craft of writing. Congratulations to the The South Shore Writers Club which for fifteen years has helped bring a sense of supportive community to a practitioners of a calling often characterized by isolation and loneliness.
