We had a small but mighty group for critiques on Tuesday night. We are doing some amazing writing! The plot thickens everywhere you look. Our favorite American videographer is getting into even more trouble in Germany. A questioning federal employee is being followed by a suspicious stranger. An unfolding and beautiful fantasy landscape is capturing our imaginations. The sounds of thunder and jazz are competing for a poet’s identity. And an irascible grammarian is learning when she’s crossed the line.
To finish out December, we will gather for Open Mic and Christmas cheer at The Main Cup on Tuesday, December 19 at 5:00 pm. Food, coffee, and cider will be provided. Come if you can and bring a friend. We’ve also invited the PamPack Creative Writing Club. If you can’t make it, have a Merry Christmas and we will see you in 2024.
The Pamlico Writers Group is excited to invite you to our Author Luncheon, Tuesday, October 31st, at the China Bay Buffet and Hibachi in Chocowinity from 11 am to 1 pm.
Our special guest speaker is the dynamic and creative Ms. Sarah Maury Swan! If you haven’t met and experienced this fantastic person, you are in for a treat, no tricks! She has lived from the west coast to the east and even in Brazil! Her books are mostly for middle grade and young adult readers but they have a universal appeal.
Ms. Sarah is a great supporter of other local authors. She is hosting her third Author Sunday at the New Bern Farmers Market Sunday, October 29th. She has attended several events by the Pamlico Writers, even coming out to Aurora for the Fish and Farm Festival!
Please join us for our first luncheon in a very long time at the China Bay Buffet in Chocowinity. There is no cost for the event but you are responsible for your own food.
Don’t forget lunch is Tuesday, October 31st 11-1 at China Bay in Chocowinity! Sarah will have books available for purchase.
Author Sunday at the New Bern Farmers Market Sunday, October 29th, 1-4 pm.
We Pamlico Writers are motoring through October. We continue to offer something every Tuesday, and we hope you can join us for one or both of the following:
PROMPT WRITING–OCT 24!
Gentlemen (and ladies), start your engines! We will gather at the Turnage, choose a couple of random words and write like heck until the buzzer buzzes. Write anything that comes into your head–just keep that pen moving. The creative magic of prompt writing has cured many a case of writer’s block. Come surprise yourself. 7pm at the Turnage.
LUNCH WITH SARAH SWAN–OCT 31!
Have lunch with PWG friends and New Bern writer, Sarah Maury Swan. Find out about Sarah’s Young Adult novels and more! 11am-1:00pm at China Bay Buffet, 2871 US-17 BUS, Chocowinity, NC. It’s a buffet; no reservations required.
The Pamlico Writers have a small part in this upcoming event. The Carnival of Darkness Film Festival begins Friday, September 22nd, 5-10 pm we will be on hand to announce the winners of our 2023 Haunted Pamlico/ Pamlico Writers Writing Contest. Join us at Raised in a Barn Farm 2100 NC 33 E Chocowinity, North Carolina

Saturday, September 23rd, 10 am to 5pm the Haunted Pamlico will present a selection of the winning film submissions for their fifth annual Carnival of Darkness Film Festival. The films will be screened at the historic Turnage Theatre, 150 West Main Street Washington, North Carolina.
Sponsors of Carnival of Darkness include Nights of Fright/Raised in a Barn Farm; Haunted Pamlico/Alternative Stage, our developing nonprofit; Ken and Marj Harrington; Russ and Robin Woolard; Pamela Anderson/AdMix Agency; McCabe’s Costumes of Winterville and anonymous donors. The festival is supported through box-office and marketing services by Arts of the Pamlico and the Turnage Theater. Our partners include Rock the Pamlico and the Pamlico Writers Group. Our festival is staffed by actors, directors, makeup artists, screenwriters, and technicians who have been involved in theater and independent filmmaking for many years. Some of Haunted Pamlico’s short films have enjoyed viral success and have been seen at festivals from Canada to Wilmington, N.C. We co-produce films by sci-fi, horror, and suspense filmmakers living in eastern North Carolina. We host screenings of original work. With our parent organization, Alternative Stage, we’ve presented original plays that have helped raise tens of thousands of dollars for area charities. We are honored to bring you a festival that supports the films of artists the world over.
"I have enough time to rest, but I don't have a minute to waste". Come and catch me with your wise words and we will have some fun with our words of wisdom.
