Major changes are coming to eMerge! The Writers’ Colony at Dairy Hollow (WCDH) is always exploring and discovering new ways to promote our writers and expand our support for the writing process. Along with eMerge, WCDH provides many opportunities for writers to share their work and market their ideas.
If you get the opportunity, listen to one of WCDH’s podcasts at Write Now at the Writers’ Colony’s podcasts. Chad Gurley, our Colony Coordinator, conducts the most informative podcast interviews with a variety of writers who have stayed at the Colony. If you aspire to write, these are worth a listen!
In an effort to promote and assist our writers with marketing their work, we have formed a WCDH group on Goodreads. You can request to join by going to our WCDH Goodreads Group. We encourage our group to write positive reviews, provide ratings for members, and share with your Goodreads friends.
All things considered, the Colony has managed to adapt, adjust, and expand during the terrible pandemic we have all experienced during 2020, that has managed to continue into 2021. This creativity is given wings by our Executive Director and staff at the Colony and affirmed by a phenomenal Board of Directors. Our alums and champions continue to provide the Colony with support, financial and/or emotional, which is esteemed by our writing community.
Thank you!
Until Next Time,
I Remain,
Just another Zororastafarian editor wondering if I make a typo, do the errorists win?
