LUNA COMMUNITY COLLEGE WRITING CLUB SEEKS MEMBERS

Luna Community College in Las Vegas, N.M., is trying out something new this semester: a writing club, open to Luna students and community members.

Novel excerpts, short stories, poems, memoirs, even song lyrics — all are welcome for friendly critique at Luna’s new writing club, interim club president Sergio Hartshorne said in a news release.

“I see the writing club as a place for individuals to get positive, productive insight on their writing,” Hartshorne said. “We will be very informal and make it a fun, engaging environment.”

For more information or to join the club, email shartshorne@luna.edu.
