Basics2Bylines--A WNY Writers'  Network

From basics to bylines, we'd like to see you succeed!
You don't have to travel far to meet up with other writers. Join our network of writers at either one or both of the Basics2Bylines Writers' Groups. Whether you've been published before or not, you'll be inspired to write and submit your work for publication. The B2B Writers' Groups are held at two locations for your convenience. For details click here.

There are some summer scheduling changes for our writers' group -  the August 2nd meeting is changed to August 9th, and the September 6th meeting is changed to September 13th. Please make a note of it on your calendar to avoid showing up on the wrong night - we don't want to miss you!

Edie Koch (Writers' Group Coordinator - Barnes & Noble - Clarence) has worked in a financial institution for almost thirty years. She writes poems and essays, many of which have been published in publications like The Buffalo News, Writer's Journal, CIA - Citizen in America, and Poems in the Waiting Room (in London). Edie's had poems highlighted in local newsletters and has also posted her writings at OurEcho.com and Buffalo.com/YourHub. 

Lynne Wallace-Lee (Writers' Group Coordinator - Barnes & Noble - Amherst) is a freelance writer with college training in technical writing, including research and project organization and management. Her educational background is in international trade, French, and travel. Lynne specializes in personal essays and viewpoints, as well as travel, cooking, and health writing.

After attending and then assisting with a series of writing workshops, Lynne and Edie found that they enjoyed getting together with other writers and hearing their works, as well as sharing their own. It seemed that a writer's group needed to be formed in the area, so together they started two partner writers' groups called, "Basics 2 Bylines - A WNY Writers' Network," offering them at two locations in the Buffalo area. They hope to provide a network for writers, as well as offer tips and advice on getting published.
