Is your New Years Resolution to write a book? 2025 is the time! This is your year to write the book you’ve always wanted to!
Join a Writing Group at Books & Books with YA Fantasy author Dana Swift. From January to June, Dana will be leading a critique group in which writers read their pages aloud for ten minutes. So please bring about five to ten pages of your book, short story, poetry, or play for feedback from Dana and your fellow writers. You’ll get the chance to ask any and all your questions about writing, querying, and publishing as well. All are welcome and not required to read to attend. Better your writing craft and work towards publication with your local indie bookstore!
7pm – 10:30pm Five readers will read their work aloud, with a break after three readers.
Tickets are $10.00 and will be redeemable for a free drink, which can include house wine, beer, or a coffee.
