Join an active group of writers at Library 21C to take your writing to the next level.

Participating writers include those writing fiction (multiple genres), personal essay, and nonfiction. If you would benefit from meeting with other writers who genuinely want to talk about writing and help other writers; if you would benefit from learning craft techniques; or if you would benefit from the writing exercises, then we'd love to have you. No RSVP is needed.

Meeting the first and third Monday of every month in the ENT Conference Center 6-8PM.

We look forward to working with you!
