Anthology:

- Halloween can just be Spooky, doesn’t have to be “Halloween”
- Holiday doesn’t just have to be Christmas

- Brandy has offered cover design skills for Anthologies for this year. She has some premade, might ask her for another one to choose from.
- Poets of Green Country is the approved title for poetry anthology
- Halloween spooky submissions due August 1st: 7000 words total (short story or poems)
- Holiday season submissions due October 1st: same rules
- SHARE SHARE SHARE - marketing is key! We are talented writers and we deserve the accolades.
- Concern over having “Bartlesville” on the front cover, for safety reasons, when “sharing”. Agreed to use only WordWeavers on anthologies
- Throwing around ideas for a website or other places that we can sell books. Jackie could make one, but concern over IF she ever left PR position could someone else do it?
- Agreed that Jackie should do a workshop over website builder!
