The Enid Writers Club will present their fall writing workshop on Saturday, November 2, 2024, at St. Matthews Episcopal Church, 518 West Randolph, Enid, OK 73701. We have four speakers lined up that day. There will be books to buy from the speakers and the club and they make great Christmas presents.

Today I want to introduce you to Laurel Thomas who speaks second at 11:00 am. Her presentation is titled Write Your Heart Out! As a writer’s coach and novelist, Laurel Thomas loves crafting stories about ordinary characters who rise against impossible odds to accomplish the extraordinary. She’s written for inspirational magazines, ghosted nonfiction and currently enjoys her favorite role as storyteller. Three of her novels, River’s Call, When Stars Brush Earth, and Stones of Promise have won numerous awards. Through Write Your Heart Out! she teaches and supports emerging novelists with one-on-one coaching, a weekly round table, and small group intensives. You can find her at www.writewithlaurel.com. I can’t wait to hear what she has to say.

The workshop begins with registration at 9:00 with coffee and doughnuts and the first speaker begins at 10:00. We have 4 speakers, Rene Gutteridge, Laurel Thomas, Peggy Doviak, and Nick Lyon.

We are offering pre-registration and payment electronically or by check. But pre-registration is a must, so we have a headcount. The price of the workshop is $20 and that includes lunch. The boxed lunch from McAlester’s offers a choice of ham, turkey, or vegetarian sandwich with a cookie and chips. Please mark your choice when you pre-register. Drinks are provided.

You can pay by using the link, https://serendipitylanecreates.com/products/enid-writers-club-registration (online registration handled by our friends at Serendipity Lane) or by mailing a $20 check and your choice for lunch, before October 28. The check should be made out to EWC and mailed to St. Matthews, 518 W. Randolph, Enid, OK 73701.

I hope to spend the next few weeks getting you acquainted with our speakers, because that is Another Story for another Time.
