Autumn greetings, everyone! Below is our monthly listing of local ADULT writing related events. All of them are free of charge, and will be held at the Dunham Public Library in Whitesboro, unless otherwise noted.

If you know of any other events not shown below, such as book signings, readings, other writing group meetings in our area, etc., please drop us an email and we'll update our listing.

We are now taking advance orders (via email) for our very first CHAPBOOK with a Western theme. It will make a thoughtful gifts for your family members, especially if you have a story in it, or use it as a stocking stuffer for the holidays. The $2 per copy will be donated to the library, mainly to defray their printing costs.

UPDATED INFO: Our next CHAPBOOK will have a Halloween theme and will be offered as an e-book on Amazon! Please see Halloween project post if you're interested in submitting your story.
