About Event

Finally a book club for writers.

Each month we’ll be reading either:

A non-fiction book designed to help us become better writers. Books like: On Writing Well, Elements of Eloquence, The Artists Way, Big Magic.

Or

We’ll be reading an absolute classic that has stood the test of time. Books like: The Sun Also Rises, A Handmaids Tale, East of Eden, or Jane Eyre. Books that we all can learn a thing or two from.

Included with your ticket:

  • Some light bites and delights, coffee or tea.

  • A spirited conversation with other writers, designed to help you elevate your craft.


The Sun Also Rises

In Hemingway’s groundbreaking debut, a group of aimless expatriates drift through 1920s Europe, chasing meaning in the aftermath of war. With its minimalist style and emotional restraint, the novel captures the disillusionment of the “Lost Generation.”

How this book will sharpen your craft:

  • Use simple, clear language for powerful impact

  • Learn how to let subtext carry emotional weight (“Iceberg Theory”)

  • Write dialogue that feels real and reveals character

  • Show setting as emotional backdrop, not just scenery

  • Pace scenes with intention—quiet buildup, and sharp payoffs
