M: Hello.
W: Hi, Tom. This is Diana from the creative writing class.
M: Oh, hi, Diana. What's up?
W: Well, I have a new project which I thought you might be interested in. I'm setting up a writer's group, you know, a support group for people who are trying to get published.
M: Well, how would it work?
W: We get together once a week. I've already arranged for a meeting room in the library, and then we share what we were working on and offer each other some advice.
M: I could use some advice. I'm working on a short story that I'd like to get published in the Campus Literature Review. You've done that, haven't you? Didn't I see a poem of yours in the last issue?
W: Yes, I was so excited to finally see my work in print. It was presented three times. You just have to keep trying if they turn you down.
M: Well, I'm sure the group could help me, but I don't know how much I can contribute. I'm just starting out.
W: That's OK. I know from your comments in class that you will be a valuable member. We will get someone more experienced to help us, too.
M: Sounds great. You can definitely count me in.
