You may approach your topic in any way you choose– you don’t need to stick with the word choices in the topics above.
Be sure to stop by the Facebook Event Page and “attend” there as well. You can even post comments and links on the event wall. While you’re there, I hope you’ll join the NAIWE News and Events page for Writers and Editors page. It’s another good way to keep in touch!
Finally, we invite you to make a small donation to the highly-rated charity, First Book in honor of Great Books Week. It takes only $2 to provide a needy child with a book to keep and cherish. You can read more and donate at the GBW web page. Great people read (and share) great books!
