Do you need a gentle kickstart for that novel you’ve been meaning to write? Or would you like feedback on your work-in-progress? If so, consider joining our new writers’ group!

The West Side Writers’ Group is open to adults who write creative fiction, nonfiction, and/or poetry. We will begin with a writing warm-up, then the rest of our time is for sharing work and giving feedback.

Although writing is usually a solitary activity, it can be helpful to join a community that cares deeply about the written word. Please note that this is not a formal class, but a casual workshop to offer and receive encouragement. Group meets on the fourth Wednesday of each month.

For ages 18 and up.
