Writing Program Activities Cancelled Through May

Out of an abundance of caution, we are cancelling or rescheduling all in-person Writing Program activities beginning March 17 through the end of May.

This affects the following workshops, classes, and author readings.

Writing Lounge:  all in-person sessions of the Tuesday Writing Lounge (both quiet and the peer led craft sessions), will be cancelled through the end of May.  However, we’re launching a Virtual Writing Lounge on May 12th.
