What we’re about
Time for a breath of fresh air...

NOW TWO FLAVORS OF GMWG:
The Burlington Writers Workshop Meetup Group, originally established by Peter Bielo has been idle since 2022. After more than two years with no activity, he released it and I had the chance to assume the organizer role. I intend to incorporate and rebuild it as a branch of the Green Mountain Writers Group. There are 2,734 existing members.
I intend to use it to restore live meetings in Burlington, those in-person gatherings that we lost when COVID struck three years ago. I changed the Meetup name to Green Mountain Writers Group | LIVE to indicate that.
I created the Green Mountain Writers Group on Meetup in 2021 during the pandemic. We host more than 750 members from all across the USA and around the world meeting on Zoom.
About the founder: Stephen Kastner:
Since 1997, I have been an independent consultant at DesignWise Studios. I began a visual artist in painting and photography. In the 80s I worked as a professional photo-journalist for the NYT papers in Florida. In 2006, I lived in Yunnan, China and spent 6 months as a filmmaker while designing the curriculum for what was to became the top-rated Chinese Culture Spa on TripAdvisor, the Linden Centre. Now, I employ writing, digital photography, videography, graphic design, and networked media to create all varieties of digital storytelling and I coach authors on self-publishing.
