Interested in writing? This is the group for you. We will meet twice monthly to discuss our work, give each other constructive feedback, and grow in our craft.

Whether you are just starting out or you've already published, whether you write as a daily practice or dabble from time to time, whether you want to keep your work private or you want the world to know your name . . . 

we're here to encourage you!

Please note that this is not an instructional workshop or quiet writing time. Two Wednesdays a month, we will chat about our current projects and (optionally) share our drafts with each other for comments. With time, the group may evolve to occasionally incorporate more structured topics.

Why Windowsill Writers? Because we will meet in one of  Duncan Library's beautiful windowed alcoves!

Wednesday, July 13 at 6:30 pm
