  The Writers Cafe Open to the public and free. Any person under 18 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or guardian to attend this or any other GLVWG event. The Light of Inspiration Keeps Burning Use it today and write something down. Then come to the Writers Cafe Get instant feedback about your work. All levels are represented from new writers to seasoned professionals. If you would like a Read and Critique, bring about 500-750 words to read to the group. Any genre, fiction or non-fiction, poetry, screenplays or memoirs are all welcome.  We will be limited to 20 readers, in 2 breakout rooms.  Room assignment will be more-or-less random.  You can still join the meeting, but only the first 20 to register will be able to read their work. There will be a waitlist, so have something available to read in case someone doesn't show up. Readings will be timed at 11 minutes. 750 words takes about 6 minutes to read, so be wise how you use those minutes. Total registration will be limited to 26. Writers Cafe meets in The Cloud via Zoom! You will get an invitation via email when you register. Some reminders will be sent to encourage you. Schmooze with fellow writers and meet some GLVWG members.    Meeting will open at 6:50. Be prompt!

  11:15 - 12:15 Morning Program: "Cooking Up Hooks: The Psychology of Grabbing and Keeping Your Readers" with Katharine Ramsland

  To inject narrative momentum, you need hooks—not just the one that grips readers on page one. Hooks occur all the way through, aiding the mood, pace, and voice. They work because our brain is hardwired for expectation, which sets us up for both surprise and satisfaction. Types of hooks will be explored, the way they work, and where to place them in your story.
