Candlelight Writers Workshops at River Bend
Candlelight Writing Workshops are held spring, fall, and winter at the River Bend Bookshop, as a motivator for writing, as a community builder for writers, and as a teaching tool. We'll be posting fall workshops soon!
Here's what is going on at River Bend for writers:
Writers' Accountability Group
Candlelight Writing Workshops and River Bend sponsor a Writers' Accountability Group that meets regularly at the bookshop. The next meeting - our inaugural meeting - is 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, July 23. It's free and open to all writers to share a few paragraphs of ongoing work.
Writers' Social
For writers seeking support and a chance to meet other writers, the River Bend Bookshop and Candlelight Writers Workshops are co-hosting a writers’ social at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, August 27, at the book shop, located at 2217 Main St., Glastonbury. All are welcome! The events are free and open to the public, please RSVP on Facebook or by calling the shop.
Bring written work; we will pull three names out of a hat to read for three-five minutes each. Questions? Please call the book shop at 860-430-6608.
