A free, intimate meet and greet introducing The Margins Circle - a curated monthly literary circle for poets, authors, and songwriters.
About this Event

Not every writer wants a stage. Some of us just need a room to be free. ✍🏽


The Margins Circle is a curated monthly literary circle for poets, authors, songwriters, and anyone who lives in the margins of a page. We gather in small intimate circles no stages, no pressure, no mics, just the work and the people who care about it.

This is your invitation to come as you are — unpolished, unfinished, and ready to connect and learn from like-minded people.


Join host Kalea for a free 1 hour long introduction to The Margins Circle. Come meet your community, learn what we're building, enjoy Cup of Sugar's menu and refreshing drinks, and see if this space feels like yours.
