Central Indiana Writers’ Association, a not-for-profit organization founded in 1976, is a community of novelists, poets, and essayists writing in all genres. We come together once a month and provide our members with a host of different activities and support. Everyone is welcome!
And while CIWA encourages every writer to continue writing, we do not support any form of pornography, erotica, or BDSM writing. There are writing groups for those genres elsewhere.
Attention: the new email for Central Indiana Writers’ Association is centralindianawriters1976@gmail.com
Central Indiana Writers’ Association Zoom Meeting – April 20, 2026
7:00-8:30 P.M.(EST)
Ts, Timelines, and Other Tricks Toward Your Memoir’s First Draft
With Speaker Melissa Fraterrigo
Her website can be found here: Melissa Fraterrigo
“You’ve likely heard that everyone has a book inside them. I’d like to rephrase that-everyone has the potential to write a book. This works because rather than supposing our book is just there, waiting to be released, it considers the person and how we play a part in the creative pro ess. In this workshop, we’ll learn how to get out of our own way by using the let T, timelines, and other tricks to propel you toward your first draft.” -Melissa Fraterrigo
