Are you a writer -- or an aspiring writer -- looking for some support? The virtual Tewksbury writing group is open to everyone who's interested in writing- all genres, all skill levels, all participating library's patrons. Each meeting takes place via Zoom and features a guest speaker (typically a published author or editor) offering some tips of the trade.

This month the guest speaker is author Errick Nunnally. Born and raised in Boston, Massachusetts, Errick Nunnally served one tour in the Marine Corps before deciding art school would be a safer—and more natural—pursuit. He strives to develop his strengths in storytelling and remains permanently distracted by art, comics, science fiction, history, and horror. Trained as a graphic designer, he has earned a black belt in Krav Maga with Muay Thai kickboxing after dark. Errick’s successes include: short stories; novels; a comic strip collection, Lost in Transition; and first prize in one hamburger contest. He also has two lovely children and one beautiful wife. His latest novel is The Queen of Saturn and the Prince in Exile, a Black nerd coming-of-age novel set in 1970s Boston about a boy who struggles to learn the truth behind his mother’s claims of otherworldly origins in the smoldering aftermath of the Civil Rights era and COINTELPRO's dying breaths.

The group is facilitated by author Dale T. Phillips, who has published novels, story collections, poetry, non-fiction, and over 80 short stories. Stephen King was Dale's college writing teacher, and since then, Dale has found time to appear on stage, television, radio, in an independent feature film, and compete on Jeopardy (losing in a spectacular fashion). He's a member of the Mystery Writers of America and the Sisters in Crime. He's traveled to all 50 states, Mexico, Canada, and through Europe.
