Tools for Writing Your First Book

I moved to Santa Fe, NM when I retired in 2018. The first new friends I made in New Mexico were retired teachers and writers. They invited me to join the New Mexico Book Association (NMBA) when I told them that “I had a book in my head.” I would not have been able to write and publish my book without the support of this established writers’ group.

When the COVID lockdown began in 2020, I was fortunate to have these contacts in place. The group quickly moved to on-line programming. I think I participated in every workshop and discussion that NMBA provided over the next two plus years. It was an invaluable learning experience.
