SCWA’s “Writing Conversations” – “The Perfect Pitch” with Barbara Evers

The South Carolina Writers’ Association (SCWA) launches its 2021 literary arts initiatives in January. These initiatives include six “Become an Author” programs, 24 “Writing Conversation” programs, and the annual conference, which will be virtual in 2021.

“Writing Conversations” events are casual lunchtime Zoom conferences led by a variety of literary citizens. They take place on Tuesdays at 12:00 p.m. via Zoom.

All of the “Become an Author” and “Writing Conversations” events are free and open to the public when they are live. Recordings are available for SCWA members. To learn more about the SCWA, view a full calendar of events, and register to attend, visit myscwa.org.
