Writers Center Conference Room (65)

This event will be held in-person in the Writers' Center meeting room.

Writers write, talk, and connect. Drop in any or every Friday at the Writers' Center between 2:00 and 5:00 p.m. and get some writing done in the company of other writers. Bring your laptop or notebook. You'll also find other writers to talk with about your writing progress and challenges. 

Here's what to expect:

2:00-2:15 p.m. -- Talk, catch up, ask questions.
2:15-3:00 p.m. -- Write!
3:00-3:15 p.m. -- Talk, catch up, ask questions.
3:15-4:00 p.m. -- Read & respond to 2 pages of a work in progress. (See Peggy or Kris for details.)
4:00-4:15 p.m. -- Talk, catch up, ask questions.
4:15-5:00 p.m. -- Write!

For writers who need to meet or talk during the writing time, we've got you covered with a Conversation Room. You're also welcome to hang out in that room the whole time, if you prefer.  

#AmWriting is facilitated by a friendly group of volunteers, including writer Peggy McNally and Kris Kuhlman
