Success by Association: Creating, Connecting, Promoting, & Publishing with the South Florida Writers Association
Bibliographic record
Abstract
As South Florida Writers Association (SFWA) enters its 35th year we are pleased to present insights into how this writers organization provides encouragement and mentoring of developing writers; assistance during the writing process through poetry, fiction and non-fiction critique groups; guest speaker presentations on the process and outcomes of self-publishing and marketing, and more. The themes at Power Publishing Day from the two presenters, Gail Tucker and Maggie Eubanks, are “Connecting”, “Creating”, “Promoting and Publishing”, and the upcoming “Mango Writers Conference”, an annual workshop and outside presenter event sponsored by SFWA. The SFWA presentation will describe how it has reached out to an extraordinary number of local, national and international members and followers with social media, on Facebook and elsewhere, and through its webpage “southfloridawriters.org". Member readings, newsletter blogs, twice yearly $500 publishing and marketing awards, monthly writing contests, and much more represent what is routine for the Board and members of the South Florida Writers Association. Recent presentations about writing process and publishing have come to us live from India, Canada, Scotland and several states outside Florida, all thanks to the wonders of Zoom technology. Meetings are held in person and via Zoom on the first Saturday of each month at Pinecrest Library in South Dade, except that December’s meeting is an annual luncheon gathering in celebration of the holidays. We welcome inquiries at our website, and encourage you to follow your muse and…keep on writing!

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
