Dear Fellow Writers,
I
 just wanted to send this note to wish you all a Happy New Year and 
wishes that all your writing and publishing dreams come true in 2020.  
Those of you who know me know that I am devoted to making this happen, 
and in 2019, over 25 Creative Quills members published their own books. 
 In addition, Creative Quills published its fourth book of short stories
 in as many years, entitled Christmas Treasures: From Our Past to Your Present.  
This
 coming year, we invite you to join us as we set new writing and 
publishing goals.  We look forward to continuing to submit to literary 
publications and contests, including Nimrod Journal and The Writing Cooperative as well as Writer's Digest and
 Oklahoma Center for the Book contests.  We hope to sell our 
publications at OWFI (Oklahoma Writer's Federation Inc.) as well as 
participate in the conference with a booth.  We already sponsor a tiny 
library and hope to have several in El Reno (our place of birth) as well
 as other towns in NW Oklahoma this year.  Lastly, we will be publishing
 a book of spooky stories available for Halloween 2020.
Please
 join us as we return to our home in the newly remodeled and historic El
 Reno Carnegie Library for our FREE Creative Writing meetup on Tuesdays 
at 10:30am. (Check the calendar for dates.)  And if you need help 
finishing your book or getting ready to publish, don't forget our 8 week
 classes at CVTech on Rt. 66 in El Reno, entitled WRITE PUBLISH AND 
MARKET YOUR BOOK.  CVTech gives awesome discounts to senior citizens, 
veterans, and students--like $10 for an entire semester!!!  CVTech has 
enabled many a publishing dream to come true!  
I
 have been in the writing, publishing, and marketing biz since 1977 and 
have worked with numerous famous authors.  My expertise can save you a 
lot of time and money and give you invaluable information so that you 
won't get tricked or ripped off by publishing vultures.  I also have 
many great ideas for marketing your book(s), and indeed, you will learn 
from your classmates' experiences as well.
Again,
 I thank you for being part of Creative Quills and hope that you join us
 for the many writing experiences we plan to share together in 2020.  
Whether you just want to find some friendly support and camaraderie for 
your writing journey or if you have more concrete dreams for 
publishing--whether traditional or self-publishing, we would love to 
meet you and have you join our safe, fun writing group!
Thank you again, and here's to a new year that fulfills all your writing and publishing dreams!
Cheers, Andrea Foster, aka "The Booklady"
