She shared her time and expertise with everyone she encountered. She encouraged writers at all levels\, especially fledglings trying to get those first words down on the page. Her generous spirit and enthusiasm rubbed off on everyone she touched\, and\, like ripples in a pond\, her actions widened the circle of writing encouragement. \nA winner of the 2019 award will be someone who best matches Emyl Jenkins’ efforts to make Virginia a better place for writers\, whether by connecting people and/or organizations around the written word\, sharing time and expertise about writing\, or simply encouraging writers to do what they do. \nNominations accepted May 1 through July 31\, 2019 \nAny Virginia individual is eligible\, except for members of the JRW board of directors\, the advisory board\, or staff. \n  URL:https://jamesriverwriters.org/event/emyl-jenkins-award-nominations-are-open-through-july-31-2019/ CATEGORIES:Contest,Other Event ORGANIZER;CN="James River Writers":MAILTO:programdirector@jamesriverwriters.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20190722T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20190722T130000 DTSTAMP:20240328T192436 CREATED:20190709T155859Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221010T205248Z UID:638986-1563795000-1563800400@jamesriverwriters.org SUMMARY:July Shoptalk DESCRIPTION:Whether you’re a completely new writer confused about the difference between an editor and an agent or a published author wondering how to go indie\, everyone has questions. Shoptalk is an opportunity for writers of all levels to gather\, get answers to their burning literary questions\, and share knowledge they’ve picked up along the way. Unlike many of JRW’s other programs\, we will not be deciding topics beforehand\, since the participants’ questions will drive the discussion. Free and open to the public\, these sessions are a great entry point into writing. Come get the answers you need\, and leave ready to start something new! \nDate: Monday\, July 22\, 2019 \nTime: 11:30 am to 1 pm \nLocation: Libbie Mill Library\, 2100 Libbie Lake E St\, Richmond\, VA 23230 \nPrice: Free URL:https://jamesriverwriters.org/event/july-shoptalk/ LOCATION:Libbie Mill Library\, 2100 Libbie Lake E St\, Richmond\, VA\, 23230\, United States ORGANIZER;CN="James River Writers":MAILTO:programdirector@jamesriverwriters.org GEO:37.5902489;-77.4965563 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Libbie Mill Library 2100 Libbie Lake E St Richmond VA 23230 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=2100 Libbie Lake E St:geo:-77.4965563,37.5902489 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20190731T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20190731T203000 DTSTAMP:20240328T192436 CREATED:20190627T232439Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221010T205243Z UID:638933-1564596000-1564605000@jamesriverwriters.org SUMMARY:July 2019 Writing Show: Defining and Finding Your Audience DESCRIPTION:Teens or tweens?
