Glenna Jarvis

Founder of the Central Valley Writers' Workshop, Glenna Jarvis
wanted to connect with other writers and build a network of contacts
in the publishing industry. She based the CVWW on a large organization
she belonged to in Texas, the DFW Writers' Workshop. After a 10-year
hiatus from writing, she longed to return to the one thing that fed
her spirit. She formed the workshop in 2003, running a small community
calendar listing in the Madera Tribune. Six people showed up for that
first meeting, two of whom are still members. From there, she
worked--with the help and support of workshop members--to bring the
publishing world to Madera County so writers could learn what it takes
to get published. This marks the fourth year she's seen this dream
realized.
 

This promises to be an entertaining and informative program.
