This Friday, September 6th, Nonprofit Commons is happy to feature J. L. Morin and Charles Degelman who will focus on storytelling and writing. Many of us have a story to tell. Whether you are writing to support the mission of your nonprofit, incorporating it in your teaching or have plans to write a novel, song or your next blog post, storytelling can be a powerful medium.
J. L. and Charles, along with other authors host a monthly Virtual Writers Workshop that brings published authors together with other writers for synergy and exchange. Their next meeting happens Sunday, September 8th at 9AM PDT. More info at: http://litvote.com/get-writing-for-etopia-islands-virtual-writers-workshop/
