From posts in May and September 2023 - Wave Writers of Ocean Shores
Lesley Hatch's book
This group was formed after another group of writers meeting at the Ocean Shores Library was no longer able to gather during the pandemic. A few of the members, including NBGS member Lesley Hatch, decided to meet together in their homes where they could safely share their passion for writing and continue improving their skills.

With a desire to welcome new members, they soon outgrew their home meeting spaces, and now meet from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. on the second and fourth Thursday of each month at the Ocean Shores Community Club’s Bayshore Clubhouse. Writing is a skill genealogy researchers all need!

A lending library filled with various instructional books donated by members of the Wave Writers is located at 585 Blue Wing Loop SE in Ocean Shores. The idea behind this service is to share their own books with others while also supplying how-to guides geared toward improving writing skills and learning more about the craft.
