Weekly Meet-ups
Join us down in the Forbes Library Community Room on Thursday nights for some light socializing, generative writing time and low-stakes sharing! We warmly welcome writers of all genres and levels of experience.
Monthly Workshops
Our newest offering is now available! The second and fourth Saturdays of the month are for writers looking to hone a piece for revision/publishing or for those who love helping others revise! Second Saturdays in Forbes Library, fourth Saturdays online via Google Meet.
Seasonal Open Mics
Four times a year, we are hosted by Amber Lane Cafe & Pub in Northampton for an intimate open mic. Come to read or come to listen! These run 6-8pm and sign-ups start at 530pm. Poetry and prose are welcome!
Voices
Aaron P.
“My favorite thing about this group is that no one is there to dominate or hear themselves talk.”
Diane S.
“The open forum and friendly critique at the meet-ups are very helpful and promote personal creativity.”
Kayleigh M.
“I’ve called our group a ‘glorified grief circle’ because it’s truly a safe space to write about whatever ails you. Most members join after some kind of loss, and I think that’s a beautiful thing.”
