ABOUT THE AMED WRITERS' GROUP The AMED Writers’ Group (AWG) is an open, friendly, informal forum for anyone who shares a general interest in the uses of writing for personal, professional, organisational or creative development. We interact both online and in bimonthly, face-to-face meetings. In addition, we also post information about other events which may be of interest to AWG Members. Many of us also have crossover membership with other networks such as the OD Innovation Network (ODiN) and the Change Alliance. We have developed into a kind of community of practice, in which we are prepared to act as a resource for each other, both during our scheduled meetings and informally between them.

Yes, agree with Paul. Let's have a future meeting on subject of publish-on-demand combined with viral marketing. Alison
Paul Z Jackson Comment by Paul Z Jackson on August 28, 2010 at 12:44am
I'd be interested in Beth's ideas, perhaps as a future meeting. I have experience too of publish-on-demand, and would like to know more about the viral marketing aspects.

Hi Everyone! Jane McLaughlin from the AMED Writers Group may be able to arrange free tickets to performances at the Royal Court Theatre from 26th Aug - 4th September. If you are interested, please contact Jane directly.
Best wishes

Must admit, I thought that I had joined a while back. Anyway Bob, better late than never...
No questions at the moment (- or answers!)
Beth Duff Comment by Beth Duff on January 12, 2010 at 12:25pm
Hi Peter,
Instead of looking for an agent, I wonder if you have considered Publish on Demand? That is working very well for my admittedly non-fiction book. I used viral marketing to get the message out. I'd be happy to share my experience with you - or anyone else who might be interested.

Hi Gill

Here are some notes on Writers' Block that I prepared for a previous AWG session. Let me know if they help, or if you'd like to discuss anything about them. Best wishes. BobUnblocking our Writing BM 17 Dec 08 v1.doc

Any suggestions for overcoming writers block? I can have lots of interesting thoughts and ideas for articles, or have done all the analysis for factual piece of work - but somehow getting that first paragraph on to the screen is really difficult.

Until I'm right up against the deadline when I just slap down any old thing and cross my fingers :-)

Any/all suggestions gratefully received

Sorry, Peter

I called you Paul in my previous message. A case of mistaken identity! BW. Bob
Bob MacKenzie Comment by Bob MacKenzie on May 6, 2009 at 7:24am
Hi, Paul
It's often a case of asking other published authors' experiences - and there are a few of those in the AWG. Also, Paul Z Jackson has opened a Forum in the AMED Network Home Page on 'Publ;isher looking for book proposals', which you might wish to pursue. And then there's the AWG pubishing session on 21 August with Andrew Carey of Triarchy Press. So maybe you'll get some leads from there? Le's see if anyone else has some ideas. Kind regards. Bob
