I have to say that I had an amazing time at the Oberlin Writers’ Group at the Oberlin Regional Library on November 17. And if I can be so bold, I believe the same is true of the 30-plus writers-in-training who came out on a sunny Sunday afternoon. Special thanks to Alexander Youngman, Adult Services Librarian at the Library. 

The following day Alex sent an email that read:

“…here’s a quote from an email I got from a participant on Sunday: “I SO THOROUGHLY enjoyed tonight’s meeting!! Thrilled I was able to attend, and Steven was MAGNIFICENT!!”

As you can tell, it went really well. There was great energy in the room, a lot of good discussions, and people really enjoyed hearing from Steven in between working on the prompts. I couldn’t be happier with the event!”

See I told you, so.

Here’s how the Library described the event: “A sage wrote centuries ago, ‘Man cannot live without joy.’ How do you find joy in your life? What challenges do you face in your search? Steven Petrow, author of the new book, The Joy You Make, and Washington Post columnist will join us in exploring this theme. Registration requested.”
