Join us this month as we launch our Book Club! Connect with fellow readers and writers for lively discussions. Our first pick is ”Red Clocks” by best-selling author Leni Zumas. Zumas will be joining us via Zoom to discuss the book and her upcoming release, “Wolf Bells.”

And don’t miss this month’s Third Thursday featuring Leza Danly, who will discuss her “transformational memoir” practice. Third Thursdays are our monthly gathering where writers explore different facets of the craft through expert talks, engaging conversation, and opportunities to read their work.

Curious about going indie? Join The Self-Publishing Panel on Sept. 25, where expert self-publishers who’ve done the work and reaped the benefits will show you the ropes and share their battle scars.

The Wednesday Cafe is returning as the Tuesday Cafe this fall. More details coming soon.

Looking for feedback on your work? Our Monthly Critique Group meets the first Wednesday of every month. Bring your pages and your insights! Writers of all genres and skill levels can get peer feedback in a structured, respectful, and moderated environment.

We’re rolling out a packed calendar of exciting fall classes. Check back often to see what’s new and reserve your spot early!

Our 2025 Annual Collection is almost here! Look out for the purchase link in early October on the Writers’ Studio website.

See you in the studio!
