Alexander Li of Local Spear Leads will speak at the next meeting. His topic will be writers' websites, the importance of a website if you choose to have one for marketing purposes, and how to drive traffic to your site. The meeting will be on February 28, from 6 pm until 7 pm.

Other speakers I will contact are someone referred by Alexander Li, a hybrid publisher, and someone I met at a networking business breakfast that will talk about writers and taxes, which will be sometime after tax season. Also, one of our writer members, Maxie, told me about a retired English teacher and author she recently met. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Let me know if anyone knows a ghostwriter, someone who writes short story collections, or an editor.
