Dear CWC-BB Members,
       Happy Jack London’s birthday! In the most recent edition of Write Angles, the calendar lists his birthday incorrectly. I wanted to make sure everyone knows that Jack London was born on January 12. Thank you, Linda Brown, for catching that error and setting us straight.
       While I’ve got your attention…be sure to come to our next meeting on Sunday, January 20, the first of 2013. In addition to our featured speaker, David Mitroff, who will speak to us on leveraging technology, we’ll also hear from our own vice-president, Kymberlie Ingalls, who will read excerpts from her blog. Lucille Bellucci will announce the winners of our holiday luncheon writing exercise based on the Bulwer-Lytton contest for the best awful writing. And Lynne Fix will present Write Angles’s Monthly Writers’ Contest winner for December, Mary Luersen, with a mysterious fabulous prize.
       And remember to bring money to buy a raffle ticket to support the Fifth Grade Story Contest! The prize table is covered with books and other wonderful items. But you won’t find out what they are unless you come to the meeting…
       See you the Sunday after tomorrow,
       Tanya Grove
       President, CWC-Berkeley Branch

January’s Write Angles

Here is January’s Write Angles for your enjoyment. Note: although both the workshop and speaker flyers (pages 8 & 9) list the dates as being in 2012, both dates are actually in 2013. Sorry about that. We are actually advertising events that are happening in the future and not writing about the past!

Write Angles Now Available on Website

In an effort to increase the readership of our Berkeley Branch newsletter, we at Write Angles wondered if it might not be advantageous to publish it on our website. Previously, receiving the monthly newsletter was a members-only benefit; but by accident, I posted the September issue on our website for all to see. When I mentioned this mistake to my husband, he asked why we didn’t always put the newsletter up on the website.

Hmm…That’s when I polled the presidents and newsletter editors of the other CWC branches to find out if they publish their newsletters on their websites, and if so, why. The response was almost unanimous: most other branches have been doing this for months or even years. Reasons to do so include the promotional benefits for members who have publishing news to share, more exposure for members who write articles for the newsletter, and a bigger audience for those who advertise their services in Member Marketplace.

So at our board meeting last Saturday, we officially decided to make Write Angles available to everyone via our website. Of course, for newsletter content, only members may share their news, advertise their services, enter the monthly writers’ contest, and submit articles. But in the future, everyone will have access to the newsletter as soon as it is published.

I think that would be called a win-win.

Of course you’ll want to come to our next meeting anyway because you’ll want to hear CWC author Judith Marshall talk about Publishing Pathways.

Due to circumstances beyond the club’s control, CWC’s brand-new version of the Write On! contest must suspend its debut until further notice. The club apologizes for any inconvenience this causes.  All who have entered the contest will have their entrance fees returned to them as soon as possible.

Thank you all for understanding.
