After Dinner Conversation Meetup Group

After Dinner Conversation co-hosting Meetup with Red Sands Writers Circle!

Background
After Dinner Conversation is an award-winning independent nonprofit publisher. We believe in fostering meaningful discussions among friends, family, and students to enhance humanity through truth-seeking, reflection, and respectful debate. Red Sands is a Phoenix based award-winning casual creative writing critique group open to all genres.

Event Summary
Join us for an in person discussion about two previously published short stories from After Dinner Conversation Magazine, (1) Community Of Peers and (2) Pandora's Dreams.

Stories will be sent out 48hrs before the event, but will also be available just before the event for those who didn't pre-read.

At the Meetup, we will discuss the two stories, their associated discussion questions, and anything else that strikes our fancy.

****Additionally, because this is a partnership with Red Sands Writers Circle, the Editor/Final Story Selector for After Dinner Conversation will discuss the story selection process, the pros/cons of the stories from a selection standpoint, and the factors that went into saying "yes" to publishing these stories.
