Bearlodge Writers hold book reading/signing

The Bearlodge Writers will be having a book reading/signing at the Hulett Branch Library on Sept. 5 at 2 p.m. Books will be available for purchase.

Spirit of the Bear Lodge: An Anthology of Bearlodge Writers. Meeting monthly for more than 40 years, members of Bearlodge Writers have been widely published, spreading their work to readers everywhere.

The Hills have drawn us from different directions. We are ranchers and homemakers, artists and teachers, musicians and business people – but most of all, we are wordsmiths.

We encourage and support one another in our writing endeavors, help each other improve our works, share information and provide workshops and writing retreats. We produce poetry, essays, novels, short stories, articles and columns. Our published works ripple outward regionally, nationally and internationally.

Our table has changed little in essentials since its founding. We still bring chocolate along with our red pens. We critique gently but honestly. We try to give each other what we need, be it grammar, help, publishing tips or simply nonjudgmental ears to listen.
