Authors Association
is currently in hiatus.
We are currently in
search of another
meeting location as
well as a more
convenient time/date

This website will
remain up and running
to help assist you
in your goals.
If you live in the
Cleveland area and
are interested in
helping with the
organization of the
group, please e-mail
me at the address

Keep posted to this site
for further dramatic
(uh, no pun intended)
changes which will include:
Separate sections for
screenwriters and
playwrights.
Deadlines section to
upcoming contests and
awards.
A more organized links
section that will help
you search for the
link that's right for
you faster.
And more...
Look for Voice Chat soon.
Message bases are near
completion. A few will
be restricted to members only.
If you are not yet a member,
please contact me via E-mail.
Membership is currently free.
Take advantage of becoming a
member today. (Did that just
sound like PBS or what?)
Keep writing.
