Just a quick heads-up to let you know that we’ll be closing early this Friday, August 21, at 3 p.m. We’ll be back for regular hours on Saturday and would love to see you soon.

Bonus reminders about upcoming classes (now with an actual sign-up link) and clubs below.

Hope you’re all doing as well as possible these days!

We have three more Wednesday night (7 p.m., at Charmers) Writing Workout sessions scheduled before we take a few weeks off. Sign up for any one or all three at our website, under events.

Writing Workout is a generative class designed to help you postpone other responsibilities, put down your phone, and get some words on the page. Each week, we do an hour of 10-minute, prompt-based “sprints,” followed by discussion and reading of the drafts we produce.

The class is open to writers at all levels and in all genres, but prompts are oriented toward narrative. If you’re a poet who can make that work—or would be content to ignore prompts and do your own thing—we’d love to have you.
