Author Exchange

Calling all authors, writers, storytellers, and creative minds!

Join us at Rico’s Café at Poor Richard’s Downtown for Author Exchange, a bi-monthly networking event created to bring Colorado Springs’ writing community together.

Whether you’re a published author, working on your first manuscript, exploring self-publishing, building your creative brand, or simply looking to connect with other writers, this is a space to meet, share, learn, and grow together.

Come grab a drink, settle in, and connect with people who understand the creative process. No awkward networking required—we want this to feel like good conversation with people who just happen to love books and storytelling as much as you do.

✨ What to Expect

• Meet local authors, writers, and creatives
• Make new connections within the Colorado Springs literary community
• Exchange ideas, experiences, resources, and inspiration
• Talk about writing, publishing, marketing, events, and everything in between
• Discover opportunities to collaborate and support one another
• Enjoy an afternoon at Rico’s Café inside Poor Richard’s Downtown

Bring your business cards, books, current projects, questions, or simply yourself. You don’t need to have a published book to belong here—if you love writing and creating, you’re invited.

Our goal with Author Exchange is simple: create a place where our local creative community can find each other.

Come meet someone new, share what you’re working on, and leave with a few more connections—and maybe even your next great idea.

We can’t wait to exchange stories, ideas, and inspiration with you! 📖✨
