We've found a "temporary" place to meet in Collier County for our meeting coming up this Saturday, March 3, 2007. We'll be in Naples this time, at Brio's Restaurant at the Waterside Shops on Tamiami Trail. This is near the intersection of Pine Ridge and Hwy-41, in the same shopping center as Barnes & Noble.
We'll be meeting from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM, with a late lunch off the menu and then our discussion and writing challenges.
I look forward to seeing you all there!

Novelist Helps Writers Become Pitch Perfect
The Pine Island Writers will hold a seminar on Sat., Feb. 17, from 9 a.m. until noon at the Art Association Building at Matlacha Station, 4577 Pine Island Rd. The speaker will be Fort Myers novelist Sara Williams. Williams will explain how to pitch a writing project to an editor.
The pitch answers that ubiquitous question, what is your story about? Williams will share techniques for developing perfect pitch—writer-style at her mini seminar, "Pitch to the Pros."
Williams invites writers to bring their pitches to the session and try them out for the audience. Whether fiction, non-fiction, short story or a movie script, “developing a successful pitch makes a critical difference in selling and promoting,” Williams said.
Williams is the author of two novels. Her first novel, The Don Juan Con, was optioned by famous movie producer Robert Evans for Paramount Studio. Her second novel, The Serenoa Scandal, is set in Florida’s tropical wild west, where hog hunting and politics are vicious sports.
The cost for this seminar is $10 for members or $15 for nonmembers. For more information, please contact Yve Malbon at 239.283.4476.
