The Randall Platt’s one-day workshop on point of view, scheduled for August 19, 2017, has been canceled. It will be rescheduled.

You are invited to the Colonyhouse for the 29th annual Founders Day, Sunday, August 13, 2017. We first began holding these summer get-togethers at the Colonyhouse to celebrate the purchase of the house.  They offer members the opportunity to visit the Colonyhouse, get acquainted with fellow writers and enjoy the Oregon coast.

You can arrive any time after 10 a.m. and stay until 4.  We’ll have coffee, tea and goodies when you arrive and will serve a light lunch at 12:30 p.m.

We ask each attendee to bring a helpful writing tip, a special quote about writing, or a personal experience that has helped you in your writing life. Please make your contribution no more than five  minutes long, so everyone will have time to share.

Cost is $15 per person.
