Thank you to Sara Miller and Louise Werden

Monadnock Writers’ Group and especially the Smoky Quartz editorial team would like to thank Sara Miller and Louise Werden for their contributions to the journal these past years. Both have retired from their positions as editors for Smoky Quartz.

Sara joined the editorial team in 2015 and Louise joined in 2019. Both played a role in guiding Smoky Quartz into its tenth year, as well as publishing the Smoky Quartz Tenth Anniversary Anthology.

We wish them the best in their next writerly adventures.

Deborah Murphy, Deni Dickler, and Linda Thomas

6:30 at the Greenfield Community Meetinghouse

Monadnock Writers’ Group is co-hosting a literary storytelling performance by MWG member Sebastian Lockwood. If you have never seen Sebastian perform, prepare to be transported to the magic, mazes, and monsters of Homer’s Odysseus!

The NH Humanities Council sponsors this event. Admission is free for the public; meat or veggie lasagna will be available for $10 a plate. All proceeds benefit the Friends of the Greenfield Community Meetinghouse.
