An in-person book club for all writers!
About this Event

Each class we read a book on the craft of writing. Meetings include an optional happy hour, with time to mix and mingle, get a drink from the Mini Bar, and do a little browsing or book buying. Happy hour is followed by ninety minutes of book discussion and guided, no-pressure writing prompts. You may leave with the start of a new story, essay, or poem!

Writers at Work is for ALL writers, from the experienced professional to the nervous beginner and everyone in between. Join us for inspiration, community, and a hands-on exploration of some of the most interesting and exciting books about writing that are out there today.

This month's book will be Julia Cameron's The Artist's Way.

Discussion will be led by award-winning writer and teacher Cecilia Pinto. Cecilia's fiction, nonfiction, and poetry have appeared in a variety of publications and journals. Her novella, Imagine the Dog, was published by Texas Review Press in 2021. She has received various acknowlegements of her efforts including nomination for a Pushcart prize, a grant from the City of Chicago to work on a now completed novel, recognition as one of the Guild Literary Complex's "20 Writers to Watch" and an honoroble mention in the Best American Essays series. She has recieved a Ragdale Fellowship for 2026. Cecilia's website is cecilia-pinto.org

Schedule:

Optional Happy Hour: 5:30-6pm

Book discussion and writing exercises: 6-7:30pm

Tuition for each session is $45, which includes a copy of the book. You can pick up your book at the store or have it mailed to you.
