VIce President: Readings and Critique Manager and Meetup Coordinator: Chris Alden
Christopher, originally from Detroit, is a retired Coast Guard Veteran who has been a BVWG member for over 12 years and also runs the Wordwrights Workshop, a monthly online writing critique group. He’s published short stories, flash fiction, and micro-fiction. By his own words, he’s a flawed, common man who attempts to lessen the absurdities and bruises of life through humor and writing.
