Introducing the H&H writing group! Once a month, we'll gather at Valerio Coffee. Our first meeting will be on August 3rd from 2pm-4pm. This group is open to writers in any genre and at any level--whether you've published several books or are just starting to write. We get that with so much going, it can be hard to find time to write. We also know that community is the best way we can show up for each other and hold ourselves accountable to our writing.

If you have writer's block, don't let that stop you from coming to our writing group! H&H staffer Kristen will provide writing prompts.

This event is free, but registration on Eventbrite is highly encouraged.

Need additional enticement? Writers will get 10% off their drinks at Valerio during writing group.

Any questions? DM @theheadandthehand or @booksby_kb or email events@theheadandthehand.com
