Literati, Meetup, and Vicki Pettersson

That's three things in the title. Here are the details. Meetup.com is a site where you can start a group of people with similar interests from your area who wish to meet both on line and in person from time to time. One such group in Las Vegas is the Literati. I belong to that group, which consists of published and shortly-to-be published authors. I mention Vicki because she was the featured speaker on Thursday evening. She is under contract to write a series of books, and since I've mentioned that, here is her website. She writes paranormal romance set in Las Vegas.

Her advice was simply to write every day, and she handed out copies of her successful query letter (the one that got her the multi-book contract) which is, as you might imagine, a very good query letter. I've been invited to sit in with a critique group within the Literati, which I'll be doing starting Tuesday.
