Charis Books and More & Sapphic Creative Writing Group are excited to bring our community a monthly space for sapphic, trans, and non-binary people to write and socialize. This space will include writing prompts and time to share your work and receive feedback from fellow participants. No prior writing experience is necessary – all skill levels are welcome. Our aim is to create a safe space for sapphic, trans, and non-binary people to foster creativity, encourage self-expression, and a sense of community. The Sapphic Writing Group will meet at Charis on the 2nd Wednesday of each month. Join us on Wednesday, August 13th at 6:00pm EST!
