On Friday, January 16, 2009 supporters of The Write Stuff reality show converged on Atlanta, GA for the beginning of the weekends events. First was the meet and greet that allowed those interested in the project to meet the judges as well as get to know more about what the show hoped to accomplish.
Many of the judges met for the first time and were able to get to know each other better.
