Our March, 2025 monthly meeting will start at 1:00 P.M. with a workshop titled “Preventing Your Lane from Becoming Rut,” presented by Beth Bolden, which will be followed by our general business and social meeting.

Workshop Description: Conventional advice over the last few years has been to stay in your proscribed “lane” AKA your brand when it comes to books, tone, tropes and so much more. But what happens when we can’t stay in our lane anymore? How do we widen our lane without losing readers? How can we strategically widen the lane without taking too much risk? Beth will discuss learning to comfortably and confidently move around in your lane and more.
