EASTON, Pa.—Greater Lehigh Valley Writers’ Group (GLVWG) will hold its monthly meeting from 10 a.m. – noon on Saturday, October 24, 2026. The meeting is offered in a hybrid format—in-person at the Palmer Branch of the Easton Library, 1 Weller Place, Palmer, PA, and online via Zoom.

Membership business will be conducted from 10 a.m.-11 a.m. From 11:15 a.m.-12:15 p.m, Patrick Crerand, director of DeSales University’s MFA program, will present “The Art of the Short Story”, a deep dive into some archetypal techniques to writing a successful short story. Examples from the great practitioners like Elizabeth Tallent, Mark Richard, Tobias Wolff, Percival Everett, Flannery O’Connor, and others will be examined. There is no cost to attend the morning program.

From 12:30-1:30 p.m., attendees are welcome to participate in an Open Mic. Bring a page or two of a work in progress to share with fellow writers over the day’s lunch break (this will not be available over Zoom).

From 1:30 to 3:00 p.m., Crerand will present a workshop on “The Art of the Short Story”, using exercises on character and structure to kickstart the writing process.
