A colleague of mine, not on the list, is an experienced writer/novelist who has been writing some really great texts for our new museum exhibits (come read them after Feb 1998) and managing our writing team and the production of exhibition and other text. He doesn't have a museum background, which in many ways has been a strength, but he would like to share experiences and knowledge with others writing in/for museums. Is there a Museum Writers' Group, anywhere, or a group of writers as part of interpretative services, perhaps? Does anyone know of any meetings/seminars/conferences on writing or text (in English) in museums that will be held in the US/Europe during 1997, say March to July? A specific response to me off list would be appreciated, unless there are museum writers who would like to develop this as a thread on the list.
