She put out some feelers to see if there were others in need of writing support and encouragement and discovered that Singapore had a large group of Singaporeans and expats aspiring to get published. In response, Clark-Platts founded the Singapore Writers&#39; Group in 2012 which has grown to include over 1,500 writer members. The organization offers opportunities to get feedback, workshops, author speaking engagements, and more. Additional incentives are available to a select group of members. She strongly encourages writers to seek out and join similar groups or find support in their own communities to help build confidence in their writing abilities.</p> </div> <div class="asl-wikipage-media"> <p><a href="https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-88/The-Singapore-Writers_2700_-Group-and-the-Value-of-Belonging-to-a-Writing-Community.mp4">www.authorlearningcenter.com/.../The-Singapore-Writers_2700_-Group-and-the-Value-of-Belonging-to-a-Writing-Community.mp4</a></p> </div><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: fiction, Nonfiction, video</div>
