Writing Buddies: Accountability, Support, and Time to Write!

Calling all writers—of any level of experience: Are you ready to make a weekly commitment to your writing? Join Writing Buddies! This in-person and online writing group is intended to be friendly, affordable, encouraging, and inspiring.

Writing Buddies runs from 2/26 – 4/2, with two in-person meetings and five meetings on Zoom. At the first in-person meeting, each member of the cohort will share their intentions and goals, which will help us all stay accountable. Participants will work toward their individual goals over the next five Saturday morning Zoom sessions with weekly prompts and check-ins. The final week, we will reconvene in-person for a reading and celebration!

Schedule:

• Wednesday, February 26: 6:00 – 7:30 pm in-person at Bookends & Beginnings
• Saturdays, March 1 – March 29: 10:00 am -12:00 pm online
• Wednesday, April 2: 6:00 – 7:30 pm in person at Bookends & Beginnings
