LCW’s own Efrem Carrasco will host a seminar on Saturday, April 23, 2022 from 2:00 pm – 4:00pm.

The goal of all writers is to continuously improve their writing

Before you submit your manuscript to the publisher, you want to make sure your work is concise, tight, structurally and grammatically correct, and meets the three criteria—Flow, Clarity, and Understandability.
This class is designed for writers of all skill levels who wish to advance to the next level.
Who Should Take This Class?

  • Unpublished novices who desire to become good fiction/nonfiction writers.
  • Published writers who desire to improve their writing craftsmanship.

You Will Learn:

  • The Concepts and Misconceptions of Editing and Writing
  • Proper Manuscript Format
  • Proper Formats of Writing
  • How to Write Stronger Sentences
  • Choosing the Right Words
  • Dos and Don’ts of Writing
  • Common Writer Mistakes—and how to avoid them.
  • Editing Marks

Only 15 seats available.
This is a stress-free class. It’s neither a Workshop nor an English Grammar class.

LCW Authors Pintar and Cicero at Branigan Library

Posted on March 17, 2022March 17, 2022 by Mark Davis

On Wednesday, March 30th George Pintar and Judy Cicero, local storytellers and authors, will be at the Branigan library’s second floor to autograph and explain the story line of their recent books. The event will start at 10:15 and conclude at noon. If you have books by either author that have not been autographed bring them.

Pintar’s books takes you on journeys throughout the Southwest including Antelope Wells, Deming, Great American Duck Race, Madrid, Chiz, population one, and other ghost towns.

Cicero’s book, an enchanting fairy tale, follows Tate, boy hero and Little-One, a refugee baby spider in their search for Little-One’s home web on the mysterious lotus pond. These unlikely friends accompanied by Tate’s imagination face the dangerous Bully Fish, menacing Sumo Snails, the evil Kameko, a renegade turtle taxi driver and the deadly Steaming Vapors.

If you are or know a local author, there will be information about the Las Cruces Writers. Their mission is Writers Helping Writers.

Enjoy a blind date with one of their books!…
