A Monthly Book Club that Centers Independent Publishers and brings Authors directly into the Room

The Writer’s Center hosts a series of FREE Book Clubs.

This is no run-of-the-mill book club. Visiting writers will read excerpts, join the discussion, and answer your questions about craft, process, the publishing industry, and getting advice for our own writing! We’ll hang and eat snacks with the authors and escape your doomscrolling.

Poetry Book Club will meet on Zoom every second Wednesday of the month with a new poet.

Fiction Book Club will meet every third Sunday of the month in person at The Writer’s Center with a new author.

Come build community and read amazing books that the Big 5 didn’t have the sense to publish!
