Join us for Coffee House with the Writers Center. Bring us your poems, stories, scripts, and other creative writing for an informal, welcoming gathering of writers. Think about your creative process. Share your work. Eat food. Build community. We meet from 6 to 8 pm in the B270 Lounge (by the Poetry Wall). Each session begins with a friendly conversation about your creative work with fellow writers, followed by a public reading. Sign up at the event to read your original work for 5 to 7 minutes. Reading your work is not required. Feel free to be a supportive audience member. Everyone is welcome. Registration is not required but it can help us plan, and it can give you a reminder of the event.
