But I was rather surprised to see a Meetup for writers, where the people who join are charged fees: "Session one: $25; Sessions 2 and 3: $35 For under $100 you will receive a concentrated dose inito the world of book writing." Oh and they have on of those contests where you win "free" publishing for your book--you know how much I like those.
So who is it run by? Ernie and Mary Carwile who, no matter how slickly, are published because they published themselves. I wonder if the membership will remain at 1, and if they get members will those people be happy with what they end up getting a concentrated dose of. (Update, last time I checked they have 4 members).

I particularly like their use of a form letter thank-you from Barack Obama, implying it's an endorsement.
7 members. Always nice when friends and family join your little club.
Anyone who joins up with this group is probably already published. Through Publish America.
Very interesting post. Thank you
