Now that fall is here, we will resume our fourth Tuesday evening meetings at the University of Dallas in Irving. Please note that we will be meeting in a different room during the fall semester: Room 42 of the Haggerty Science Center, next to the Math Department office (building 5 on this campus map). If you want to mark your calendar for the entire semester, our meetings at UD will occur on September 22, October 27, November 24, and December 22, from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m.

Of special interest this month -- the University's English Department, along with the Office of Career Development, will be presenting a special Writer's Panel to discuss “Building a Career in the Literary World.” This event will take place from 4:00 to 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, 22 September, in the Gorman Faculty Lounge. Speaker's will be:
  • Dr. Kimberly Johnson, poet, translator and literary critic, Professor at BYU
  • JK Nickell, Senior Editor, Southwest: The Magazine

  • Alan Kinsella, Freelance Business Writer with clients including Accenture, Alcatel, Deloitte, Johnson & Johnson and more
Members of the Dallas/Fort Worth Catholic Writers Group have been cordially invited to attend this event, which is open to the public. Why not take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to learn more about the ways one can actually make a living writing?

For those who find daytime meetings more convenient, our second Tuesday lunchtime meetings continue as usual at the Half-Price Books store in Dallas on Northwest Highway. Here are the details of time and place. Both the Dallas and the Irving meetings are free and open to all who wish to attend.
