Scribblers of Brevard is a long-standing writers’ club based in the Eau Gallie Library, Melbourne, Florida; a place where writers meet to read their work and share encouragement, inspiration and advice with fellow writers. Our members include novices and published authors alike, who write in all styles, forms and genres (prose and poetry, fiction and non-fiction) and we welcome anyone who has an interest in writing.
We meet every second Saturday in the Eau Gallie Public Library from 10:00 to noon. We gather at 9:30 beforehand to share snacks and socialize. We meet again on the fourth Saturday from 9:30 to noon via a Zoom link that is provided to members and guests via email. We do not have our fourth Saturday Zoom meetings in November or December due to the holidays.
Meetings are devoted primarily to the reading aloud of writers’ work which is critiqued by members in positive, appropriate, relevant and informed ways. The aim of the critiques is to affirm the best aspects of the work and offer helpful advice and suggestions for improvement. Members can sign up to read at the next meeting but this is not obligatory. Each reader is allotted 15 minutes to read.
The closing section of our meetings is devoted to other business, which includes the usual minutes and treasurer’s report etc. but we also discuss recommended books and films, and share information about local writing events and local, national and international competitions.
We publish an annual anthology of the best of our work, now entitled Written in the Sun (previously Driftwood) which is available from the Amazon book store in print and e-book format for the Kindle device.
If you would like to join us please feel free to drop in to any meeting. You will be made most welcome. You can try us out a couple of times before deciding if you want to join us as a member. The Membership Fee is $20 per year. We also have a Facebook page, HERE: Like us on Facebook.
