Update on Joplin Tornado - Writing through the Pain

I have a bit of uplifting news to pass along from the Joplin writing community.

The Joplin Chapter of the Missouri Writers' Guild, in conjunction with the MWG and other MWG chapters, is planning to produce an anthology.

The tentative theme for the anthology is weather. All the proceeds from sales of the anthology will go to buy books for schools in Joplin.

The anthology is in the early planning stage, but as details are finalized I will post them here.

Until then, please continue to pray for the residents of Joplin, the Joplin and Missouri writing community, and everyone across the United States affected by the tornadoes this spring.

  8. Hi Lynn and Linda (Mozark Press),
    From what I've been told, the Joplin Chapter president came up with the idea and the MWG and other chapters are going to help out.
    And I agree about writing being therapeutic.
