Swagger

The Swagger Writers: Three years ago we signed up to attend a Highlights Foundation workshop: “Writing the YA Novel.” Author Rich Wallace was the workshop moderator. We met at the old Boyds Mills’ farmhouse: writing, talking, sharing, reading, crying, supporting, dining on Marcia’s gourmet meals. And yes, there was drinking involved. Somehow this diverse group jelled. And two years later, on October 2nd, 2011, eight of us returned for a reunion at the new “Barn” and decided to launch Swagger. A year later, six of us remain: The former Australian footy player working on a memoir - The Tuscan picture book author working on a memoir - The mother, wife, and grandmother, from Cincinnati, working on a compilation of MG holiday stories - The Denver author working on her follow-up novel - The former prosecutor from Cleveland determined to publish her MG fantasy - The established MG & YA author from New Hampshire - We are Swagger – Writers with Attitude!
