NOTE: How does one get to be included on this list? Being
an author or novelist and a member of Writers' Group of the Triad
will get you in for sure. Published WGOT writers with national magazine
credits or writers with stories published in anthologies also helps.
Being a facilitator of one of our genres or a WGOT board member
also gets you in. As you can see, we have had difficulties with
some of the photos, and we appreciate your patience and understanding.
We are still trying to get this sort of thing worked out. If you
are listed here without a photo or wish to have a different photo
used than the one on the website, please email a digital copy (.jpg
files preferred) to Webmaster Karen McCullough at karen@kmccullough.com.
Please put "WGOT" in the subject line. If you are not
listed here but want to be, please forward a short bio (not to exceed
100 words) and photo to the same address.
