Are you including a firearm in your next novel?
CTRWA’s June 14TH meeting will feature, Nick Errede, presenter of NRA safety programs to hundreds of Connecticut residents wishing to obtain a state permit to carry pistols and revolvers. He will be speaking about firearms from a writer’s perspective and pistols in particular in a workshop designed for writers. This workshop will not contain directions on the use of firearms for any other purpose except fiction writing. No ammunition will be present.
Our meetings are held at the North Haven Holiday Inn. Membership meeting begins at 11:00 AM, speaker at noon, and a pay your own lunch at 1:30. All writers are welcome, published or unpublished in any genre. Come to a free meeting to check us out.
