Wow! Another fabulous reading at Fixx Coffee House

I’d like to say it was the best-kept secret in the Milwaukee literary scene, but since we packed the place, I’m not sure we can call it a secret anymore. What I can say is that our latest On the Road Writers’ Showcase was a marvelous evening with a wide variety of well-crafted pieces, delivered with passion and professionalism. Many thanks to our readers as well as the enthusiastic audience. YOU make our community a unique and special place for writers!


Contest Deadline Extended

The Wisconsin Regional Writers’ Association (WRWA) has extended the contest deadline for the Lindemann Humor Writing and AP Nelson Feature Writing Contests until Mar. 31, 2011. Contest guidelines can be downloaded from the WRWA website. Good luck!
