Idahope Writers is pleased to welcome award-winning author Robin Lee Hatcher as the speaker for its October meeting.

Hatcher is the author of more than 60 novels, with 30 having been written for the General Market, and 30 for the Christian Market.  Hatcher is past President of the Romance Writers of America (1992-94) and winner of the Christy Award for Excellence in Christian Fiction and the RITA Award for Best Inspirational Romance.

Idahope Writers is a chapter of the American Christian Fiction Writers set up with the goal of providing fellowship for Christian writers and opportunities to work towards publication.  The Idahope Writers Group has presented two writers conferences in 2009 and 2010 and is looking for the 2011 conference. 

More information is available on Idahope writers by e-mailing  Adam Graham, president of Idahope Writers.

Our Next Meeting Thursday, Nov 12 2009 

Our normal meeting date conflicts with Thanksgiving, so this month we’ll be meeting one week early. The meeting is scheduled for November 19th at 6:30 at the Rediscovered Bookshop. We’ll be electing officers. In order to vote, you must be a member of the local group.

In addition to this, we’ll be hearing members read from their work.  Based on the small number of members that have contacted me to express interest, I believe we’ll have a small number, so we should be able to do a writing excercise before elections and readings.

Anyone attending should bring an object wrapped in a bag. The object can be valuable as you’re not going to give it away. It’s only an object to spur writing imagination.
