Fun mix of beginner to professional
Dallas Mystery Writers
A group of friendly writers enjoying a program at every meeting. Sometimes about writing, sometimes about criming (descriptions, not instructions).
LOCATION:
The Dallas
Mystery Writers meets the first Saturday of each month (except January) at the
Olive Garden, 4240 Belt Line (at Midway), Addison, TX, 75001. Meeting time is
10:15 AM—Noon, followed by lunch.
There is a
$10 fee for non-members (cash only) for the program and drinks-only attendees
when we meet in person (members get in automatically). No reservations necessary — there’s always room for another writer. Stay after the program and break bread(sticks) with your fellow writers.
