WLOV was founded in 2011 in The Villages, Florida, to serve the interests of Villages writers, published and unpublished. Its goals are to: 1) further the education of writers about all aspects of the craft, including editing, self-publishing and marketing 2) foster an environment for promoting the published works of our authors. These goals are accomplished via monthly speaker presentations, special writing seminars, an annual book fair, this website, and a monthly newsletter with information of interest to all TV authors. We also maintain a picture catalogue of books recently published by members, the covers of which are displayed in the slide show at left. We are not a critique group, but many of our members belong to one or more of the Villages' several writing critique groups (click here for list). All Villages residents and guests are invited to come to our monthly meetings. To join and receive our emails and newsletters, plus discounts for special seminars and other paid events, the fee is $15/year (Click on WLOV Membership for Membership Request form). Meetings are the first Wednesday of every month (except June and July) at Laurel Manor Recreation Center, 8:30 - 10:30 a.m. In the Table of Contents, WLOV Past Events provides downloads of previous slide presentations and/or handouts. Our monthly newsletters are filed under WLOV Newsletters. Larry Martin Past President, WLOV Newsletter and Website Editor drlarry437@gmail.com |

Wed, Dec 5 - DECEMBER HOLIDAY MEETING/BREAKFAST: CAN YOU ENTERTAIN US?
Every year, in lieu of a regular meeting in December, WLOV members come together for breakfast and holiday entertainment. This year is no exception. However, instead of a full breakfast we’ll be offering less weight fare: bagels, fruit, donuts etc. along with juice, coffee, tea.
It may only be September, but now is time to ask the question: Can you entertain us? The December Holiday Meeting is an opportunity for WLOV members to show off their other talents – those not related to the solitary time spent staring at a computer screen mentally dancing with their writing muse. In your other life, do you sing, dance, or play the guitar? Or, keeping more within the lane of writing, can you create a holiday word game? A silly lyric poem? A humorous holiday song?
We’re looking for someone to put together our holiday entertainment for this year. Are you up to it? Please let me know.
