Smoke City Narrators, founded in 1998 and based in the Birmingham, Alabama area, provides constructive critiques, contests, seminars and workshops for professional writers. All members have accumulated regional publishing credits and/or writing awards. Whenever possible, we give beginners suggestions to help them find resources geared toward their needs.
SCN formerly accepted only literary and mainstream writers. Membership now open to all genres. We presently critique short stories, novels and narrative non-fiction but will consider other areas when sufficient applications received.
SCN currently charges no dues but has one-day seminars and workshops with modest fees in the planning stages. Topics offered will interest advanced writers: marketing, publicity, writing query letters and synopses. CURRENT MEMBERS: Janice Wiley-Dornhttp://www.janicewiley-dorn.com Founder and President
