SOUTH COUNTY meets on the first and third Saturdays of each month from 9:30 AM to noon in Grover Beach, CA. This group thrives on variety. Members write short stories, articles, poetry, and novels. They work in all genres, from fiction to biography and memoirs. Members exchange work by email at least one each week before the meeting in order to receive in-depth critiques aimed at eliminating weaknesses and increasing strengths in everything from plot and character development to grammar and proper manuscript preparation. Writers of all levels from beginner to advanced are welcomed to meet in a casual and fun atmosphere if they're serious about fully developing their writing talent, whether for publication or self-satisfaction. This group is currently full, but visitors are always welcome. Contact Ginger Lasher: 481-2576
