As you might know, my writing group Elwood Writers is an active and committed cohort of four. Member, Barry Lee Thompson, recently wrote about the group on The Writing Life, a blog hosted by Lee Kofman, author of fiction and non-fiction books. She is a superlative teacher – among her other talents – to both established and emerging writers. At an online event in 2020 hosted by Readings bookstore, Lee launched the Elwood Writers’ anthology, Every Second Tuesday. More about the collection of prose and poems can be found here.
You can read Barry’s take on the elements that lead to a successful writing group below:
Barry’s own collection of linked short stories, Broken Rules and Other Stories, was published by Transit Lounge that same year to critical and popular acclaim. Read about all about it here. Happy reading.

Thanks for sharing the guest blog post, Margaret. And thanks for the special shout-out for Broken Rules. I appreciate it.
