Our May 2026 monthly meeting will start at 1:00 pm with a workshop titled “Build Your Anchor Character,” presented by Susanne Myers, followed by our general business and social meeting. Not a NERW member but want to attend the workshop?

Workshop Description: What if one unforgettable character could keep readers coming back to your series again and again? This class shows you how to create interconnected stories through a recurring “anchor character” your audience will recognize, love, and look for in every book. Learn how to build a richer world, create emotional continuity, and turn casual readers into loyal fans who never want to leave.

Whether you’re writing a series or just thinking about one, this is the kind of craft talk that has immediate, practical takeaways.
