As I've delved into the world of indie publishing, I've really missed having a writing community. My writing community has fluctuated over the years. I've been involved in groups, gone to a handful of conferences and tried out online writing collaboration. Lately, my writing community mostly includes podcasts, the kboards and Facebook. Especially as I prepare to publish my second book - out next week - and I 'm searching for launch strategies and other ideas to get some momentum in the Born of Shadows Series. However, I felt compelled to research writing organizations in Michigan in the hopes of reaching out to some other writers in the non-digital world. If you too are looking to connect with other writers in Michigan - here are some organizations to get you started. Also - feel free to shoot me a message if you want to talk writing!

I will be glad to make writers friends. I feel like I have a good energy to write about my experience as writer immigrant in USA since I was refugee untill I became US citizen. But, I need help to do that.
Thank you
Sincerely,
Ahmed
