Office Lounge Zoom Friday, July 26
Also, early subscribers to this Substack, check your accounts
The last Friday of every month at noon is the Iowa Writers’ Collaborative Office Lounge. It’s an opportunity to interact with members of the Iowa Writers’ Collaborative. If you are a paid subscriber to any member of the Collaborative, you will find the link below. If you aren’t a paid subscriber, please consider becoming one. You can be a subscriber to one, some, or all of the Collaborative’s newsletters but doing the last means getting a LOT of e-mails.
For those of you who bought annual subscriptions to my Substack around the time I started out, your renewals are happening. Check your payment information if you wish to continue financial support of this newsletter. I really appreciate your willingness to support my writing that way. For those of you who have not bought an annual or monthly subscription, what are you waiting for? :-)
New writers
My membership in the Collaborative includes getting the word out when the group has grown. These announcements also come in the Sunday Roundups. Some well-known people have joined in the past month:
Rekha Basu, former columnist at the Des Moines Register
Chris Gloninger, former meteorologist at KCCI-TV
Phoebe Wall Howard, Detroit Free Press automotive writer and former Register reporter
Ty Rushing, who has been at Iowa Starting Line, is taking a new job as a journalism professor at the University of Iowa. He’ll be joining the group in August.
Also, there is a new Iowa Writers’ Collaborative Politics Panel Podcast. It’s free to subscribe, but it’s in search of benefactors.
Robert Leonard will host this month’s Office Lounge.
