It’s March and tomorrow we will be holding our Shreveport Writer’s Club Meeting. For this month and April we will be holding it at the Broadmoor Presbyterian Church. The building is located on 1915 Glover Place, Shreveport, LA 71105. It will be from 10am-12pm. Make sure to bring pens and pencils, for our flash writing exercise. Also, bring a sample of some of your work to share during our Round Robin at the end.
During our Feburary meeting, we were honored to have author Katie Bickham as our speaker. She shared work from her poetry book, “The Belle Mar”.
Katie likes to write poetry with historic background with settings around the world. Some of the poetry from her book has settings as far as the 1800’s.
“The Belle Mar” is set on a plantation in Louisiana from the 1811-2005. The characters are also diversed. The poetry is told through characters with different social and economical backgrounds.
Bickham writes her poetry, so that it is accessible to readers. She finds that it is a great tool for story-telling. With her story-telling, she finds that it is also importamt to perform well. Katie believes it is a great way to reach audiences. Katie also shared her researching habits and how to work with traditional publishing.
We want to thank Katie Bickham for coming to speak with us. She gave us great insight about traditional publishing in poetry.
At the next meeting we will be talking about the upcoming April Writer’s Medley.
We are also going to be holding our Officer elections in June. Dues will also be due.
Come out and enjoy the company of fellow writers and those who are inspiring to write.
Keep up with your awesomeness and remember to “Write on”!

In September, we got together at the Broadmoor Branch Library for the Shreveport Writer’s Club Meeting.
One of our member’s, John, led a Writer’s Spotlight on the importance of writing structure. He also gave us advice on how it is important for the writer to take care of themselves. Sometimes when we are in the midst of writing, we can lose track of ourselves. Remembering to take care of ourselves during our writing time will help us to be even better writers.
This Saturday, October 7th, we will be holding our meeting at the Broadmoor Branch Library. Our member, Deondre, will be leading the Writer’s Spot Light.
On October 8th, Sunday, there will be a Literary Event by Fluer De Lit at Broadmoor Library. The club will have a table there and members are encouraged to come by and share and sell their work. Also, come out to meet the contributors of the literary magazine. The event will be from 1pm-3pm.
On October 19th, Thursday, we will be having our Writer’s Medley from 4:30pm-6:30pm. This will be held at the Main Shreve Memorial Library Branch downtown. Members, in good standing, will be able to share their works with the public. There are 5 minute and 20 minute spots. If you know that you will need a spot in between that time slot, please let us know. You can let us know that you want to participate and the time you need by e-mailing us at shreveportwritersclub@gmail.com. If you would like the template for the flyer to promote, please e-mail us.
The Anthology is going through its final stages. Thank you for the patience, for we would like to make sure that we put our best foot forward with this project.
We appreciate all those who were able to make it to September’s meeting and we hope to see you this Saturday.
