Resources & Networking
for Professional
& Aspiring Authors
Panhandle Professional Writers
is the second oldest writing
group in the nation located in the
Texas Panhandle. You do
not have to be a professional
writer to join us. We are made
up of all types of people who
have come together to learn
more about the craft of writing.
If you are a beginner to a
multi-published author, come join
us. You will find support,
encouragement, and friends on
all levels of their writing
endeavors. We have an annual
conference to help those who
want to learn more about the
craft of writing, bi-monthly
meetings, and an online group
and occasional classes. Browse
our website to learn more about
us.

May 17th is our next meeting.
Morning Program: So Great a
Heritage
Kathy Jackson is the author of
this remarkable book based on
her father’s letters home during
World War II. Her painstaking
research of Army records and
photographs have enriched a
the deeply moving letters into a
more complete account of “T -
Patchers,” the 36th Division
Artillery and his experiences in
the liberation of Italy. Jackson
says, I hope to connect readers
to this time in American history
and the stories that come from
our own backyards. I don’t want
people to forget what an
important job these boys did
and what it cost them.” Her
presentation should inspire us
all to look at our family
scrapbooks and ribbon-tied
bundles of letters to pass on
our heritage.
Afternoon Program: The Scarlet
Scribblers
Suzanne Allen, Natalie Bright,
Katrina Kimble, Margot Sims,
and Marian Carpenter will
present: designing a business
card, pinpointing your genre, do
several writing exercises
identifying basic mistakes every
beginning writer makes. We will
critique a written paragraph and
learn how to find those
mistakes and provide you with
tips and tools for use in editing
your own work. Bring your
business cards for a card
exchange.

conference brochure.
