Building a Vibrant Writing Community in 2026 and Beyond

The new year brings fresh pages and endless possibilities. Whether you’re ready to finally finish that novel gathering dust in a drawer, explore memoir writing, hone your craft through poetry, or simply carve out dedicated time to put pen to paper, you’ll find a welcoming community of writers at BARN.

Join virtual writing sprints (Tuesday and Thursday mornings and Monday evenings), attend monthly writing roundtables to discuss craft (on indie publishing, the romance genre, and for youth), or dive into the Read Like a Writer Book Club to analyze recently published works. The Writers’ Studio Critique Group provides structured peer feedback in a respectful environment, and there are classes and workshops designed to move your writing forward.

Mark your calendar for Thursday, Jan. 29, when authors will read from the Writers’ Studio Collection at Eagle Harbor Book Co. Watch the catalog for more details coming later this month.

Here’s to a breakout year in 2026!
