Several Slicers are heading up to the Highlights Foundation for an Unworkshop for few days in late June. Consider joining them if you’d like to drop everything for a few days so you can spend time working on your writing. For more information about the Highlights Foundation’s facilities you can go to their website. You may also click here to learn more about an Unworkshop.
Any Slicer interested in joining the group in June should contact Stacey at stacey [at] staceyshubitz [dot] com for more details.
Now, write your story, share your link, and give at least 3 comments to other Slicers.
