    The Writers Cafe
    Open to the public and free.

    Any person under 18 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or guardian to attend this or any other GLVWG event.

    Work those Writing Muscles.

    If you don't use it... you lose it!

    Remember:

    Put Something on Paper

    THEN:

    Come to the Writers Café 

    Get instant feedback about your work.

    All levels are represented from new writers to seasoned professionals.

    If you would like a Read and Critique, have about 750 words ready to read to the group, any genre, fiction or non-fiction, poetry, screenplays or memoirs are all welcome.

    Only the first 20 to register will be able to read their work. We limit it to 20 readers, split into two groups so all have time to share.  The rest are welcome to listen, learn and critique. There will be a waitlist, so have something to read in case a space becomes available.

    Readings will be 11 minutes (more or less) including feedback.

    750 words takes about 5-6 minutes to read, so be wise how you use your 11 minutes.

    • Total registration will be limited to 26 with 20 people able to read.
    • Schmooze with fellow writers and meet some GLVWG members.   
    • Writers Café meets at The Cloud via Zoom!
