Come Join Us

We invite all African-American writers to join us on the first Saturday of each month at the Columbia City Branch of the Seattle Public Library (4721 Rainier Ave. S., Seattle, WA 98118) where we share our works-in-progress with one another and discuss upcoming readings and other opportunities. We begin when the library opens and continue until noon.
