Happy Holidays...
Thanks again to all those who came out to the meet-up on Friday night! It was a smaller crowd, about 15, as to be expected with folks traveling for the holidays and busy with festivities. But it was still a great mix of new & familiar faces and a jolly good time. After the holidays, we’ll have a Sunday merienda style meet-up, to try out a different day and onda, specific time and location to be announced.
A few thoughts on our adventurous and creative lifestyles and the Writers in BA family: Some of you are Argentines, some of you are seasoned expats that are here for the long haul, and some of you are here and gone in an explorative interlude of your life, either to figure out your life’s purpose (suerte on finding that here!), run away from the wreckage of your previous life, or simply to commune with your muse and amass juicy material for your writings.
Whatever the case, should you be one of those that leave us, we do hope you’ll stay in touch. If you publish something exciting or win an award, we want to know! If you become a well-to-do editor and want to hire us lovely freelancers in B.A., we want to know! If you strike it rich, marry rich, or work for a rich arts foundation, and want to fund a writers’ center here for all sorts of cool projects and residencies and whatnot, we want to know! Plus, you have to stay in touch, because you know you’ll end up back here; this place has a hold on your soul, like it or not.

THE ‘WHO IS PETE SEVANG?’ WRITING CONTEST
Deadline: JANUARY 15!
Yep that’s right, there’s still a contest for your creative outlets, deadline extended to January 15th, because I know some of you have *intriguing* manuscripts in the works and I want to read them! So the question of the day is “Who is Pete Sevang?” Similar rules apply.
This is a fiction contest based on no actual person, except to the extent that fiction draws on real life, i.e. you can base Pete Sevang on your real life evil stepfather bent on publicly humiliating you, but you must give him a Texas accent and a Batman costume that he steals away in at night.
What we do know about Pete Sevang: He is a writer lurking in Buenos Aires that nobody has met.
Send a paragraph of flash fiction or a poem (limit 250 words) on the topic ‘Who is Pete Sevang?’ to writersinba@gmail.com with “Who is Pete Sevang?” in the subject heading. Deadline JANUARY 15, 2009. First, second and third prize entries will be published on our blog and reserve an honorary slot to read them at the forthcoming open mike (to be announced).
We’ll have more serious contests in the future, too, with serious prizes and judges and blind submission procedure, but this is to get us going!

WRITERS IN THE NEWS
Have you published something exciting? Won an award? Been featured in the media? Let us know your news!
Here’s a new venture being launched by WBA member Michelle Alison in Mar del Plata; for further info contact her at english.newspaper@yahoo.com.
The English Newspaper
Argentina’s new paper – free, in print, and online
The English Newspaper is the newest answer to the need for more news and information in English. With only one well known English newspaper now available and focused on Buenos Aires, The English Newspaper will be dedicated to the whole of Argentina. It will target tourists and English speakers and will also be a substantial resource for English language learners.
The English Newspaper will be distributed free throughout Buenos Aires and Mar del Plata to start, and expand to other important cities like Mendoza, Cordoba, Rosario, and Bariloche – with future plans to distribute it in tourist information centres in London and other major cities. The newspaper will also be online, providing global access.
The English Newspaper will not just be a newspaper, but a learning tool. Along with all the important global and local news there will be sections dedicated to the history and geography of Argentina and South America. For tourists coming to Argentina with little knowledge about the country, they will not only find tourist information but also learn about Argentina – all in one attractive format. Tourist information will include important tips and recommendations based on the real-life experiences of those already living here as well as from other tourists.
Indeed, what makes the English Newspaper different is that all of the articles are written by English speaking journalists living in Argentina. The topics will include moving to a new country, adapting to Argentine culture, business ventures from a foreign perspective, and everyday questions such as education and immigration.
The English Newspaper will feature an English language learning section, with grammar and vocabulary available for three different levels of speakers, making it handy and useful for both foreign visitors and native learners. And, there will also be a puzzle section with crosswords and wordsearches to enhance English skills.
The English Newspaper will also publish world weather, currency news, horoscopes and cartoons, and a free classified section for small businesses and items for sale.
The English Newspaper is a new type of newspaper, and as a free newspaper, it will be widely circulated and read – and a great opportunity for marketing by advertisers who are looking for the focused markets it creates.

Second Meet-up, etc.
Our list keeps growing! More people keep signing up every day. Welcome! Now that I'm rested up a bit from all the Obama partying and hope you are too (not that the party should stop), time for another meet-up:
Writers in Buenos Aires Bar Night
Friday, 14 November
9 p.m.
Bar Sugar
@ Costa Rica 4619
(near Armenia) in Palermo
Pry yourself away from your typewriter, emerge from your hovel, and come out and meet other writers to discuss conspiratorial plots to take over the city. Friends/companions welcome. Spread the word!
Just to be clear, since there's been a little confusion about precisely what Writers in Buenos Aires is….it is not, in and of itself, a "writers group," but rather a larger, social network of writers groups & individuals, editors, publishers, fans, friends, literary aficionados, translators, that want to meet each other, share resources, and build & connect the community of writers here, since there are so many of us. Argentines, etc. that have a creative interest in the English language are also quite welcome...invite your English students on (since I know many of you teach English).
Link your blog or website to ours! Send us a link and we will post it. And check out your fellow writers' sites already up on the right side of the blog.
Sign up for our E-mail list or Facebook group if you haven't already. We send out event invites, news, job postings, and other notices to your inbox.

Thanks to everybody who came out to the Writers in BA meet-up at Sugar last Friday, it was great to meet you all! And for those who couldn’t make it, don’t worry, there will be more. It was a good night, about 20-25 people showed after only a week of reaching out, which affirms that there are many of us lonely writers here wandering the city. The next time the New York Times does one of their articles about the oh-so-trendy, Bohemian expat life in Buenos Aires, you know they’re going to have to call us, so let’s unite and become a force to be reckoned with! Remember, we are the Paris of South America. Fifty years from now, the literary community will be waxing nostalgic about the wave of great expat writers in Buenos Aires circa post-economic crisis. There will be walking tours throughout the city: “So-and-so penned the bulk of her classic novel, Insert Non-Tango Related, Truly Original Title Here, here at Café Margot in Boedo at this very table…you can see where she carved her initials…” Think big, people.
Stay tuned for news on an upcoming Open Mike night/Literary Café. If anybody has any ideas or contacts for venues in which to hold such an event, preferably free-of-charge or inexpensive and with a cozy atmosphere, sound system & bar, let me know…

Welcome to Writers in Buenos Aires!
There are a lot of us here and we figured it’s about time to create a network to meet each other and share ideas and resources. If you are looking to form or join a writers group, host or attend an event (such as a reading or meet-up), find or advertise literary classes, share resources such as job postings, freelance outlets, etc., or simply meet other writers in the city to commiserate with, this space is yours! We also welcome friends and fans of writers, editors, literary aficionados, etc. And if you have a personal or writers group website you would like to link to the blog, send us the link.
We have this blog: www.writersinba.blogspot.com
an e-mail list: writersinba@gmail.com
and an open Facebook group: “Writers in Buenos Aires”
If you want to post something to the list or blog, send an e-mail to writersinba@gmail.com and your notice will be passed along. This will be moderated! No spam, inappropriate material, excessive posting, or personal e-mails between members. If you do not want to be on this list, please send an e-mail asking to be taken off.
Tell all your friends! If you know anybody you think would be interested in taking part, please invite them to join, on Facebook and/or the e-mail list, and check the blog for updates. And please do share any ideas for what this group can become or how to grow the network!
