Draft Chats are for writers of fiction and creative nonfiction who are dedicated to improving their craft and celebrating the shared successes of the group. Together, we meet monthly to review each other’s work, offer feedback and guidance, and encourage each other along our individual paths to publication. Less rigorous than a workshop, Draft Chats are designed for the writer who is searching for a thoughtful community of readers and/or who simply seeks encouragement to continue their journey. Participants should bring copies of work to share; designated manuscript-reading time will be followed by constructive, facilitated discussion. We welcome you!
This Draft Chat will be facilitated by Porch teaching artist Daniel Myers.
Writer, teacher, soccer player, and aspiring coder, Daniel Myers lives in Nashville, Tennessee. Although the short story is his favorite genre to read, poetry and novels are his favorite to write. He received an MFA from the University of Alabama. His work can be seen in Puerto Del Sol, SmokeLong Quarterly, Blue Earth Review, and DIAGRAM, among others. He recently finished his first novel and is in the process of querying agents.
"Daniel's enthusiasm and creative prompts made starting a new story feel fun and easy."
