FREE! Join us at Storybook Brewing!

Writers’ Night is for writers of any level to get talk about writing, rub shoulders with their peers, and lend their expertise. It’s two hours of fun, camaraderie, and laughter, an event where attendees set the agenda, and the host keeps it organized. Want to talk about query letters? Let’s do it! How to get an agent? An excellent topic, let’s discuss it.

You’ll get to share your accomplishments, and maybe meet some new authors to stay in touch with. These are your people. This is your team. Come out and be a part of it.

Feb. 23, 6-7:45 p.m.

Hosted by Pikes Peak Writers at Storybook Brewing.

Hosted by Aimee Herman & Rebecca Diaz with Stephanie Michele from Tiny Spoon Lit Mag & Amy Bobeda on Mon., Feb. 25, at Bus Stop Gallery on 4895 Broadway in Boulder.

Author Robert Harvey will guest host the book club, discussing his book Amache: The Story of Japanese Internment in Colorado During World War II (our review here). Tues., Feb. 25, 6:30 p.m.

Event is free but registration is required, as space is limited.

Telling our stories can help us process our life experiences and find new paths forward. This safe and supportive weekly writing workshop is free and open to all.
