UPCOMING EVENTS:
If writing, talking about writing, and meeting other writers are three things that appeal to you, then we would like to cordially invite you to the Austin Writers Loft Party. Join WriteByNight and the Professional Writers of Austin Meetup group for a night of eating, drinking, and schmoozing with writers of all genres and experience levels, from published writers and experienced editors to those just getting their start. This is a great opportunity to bring people from all corners of Austin’s creative and professional writing community together under one roof … for the first time. (Can you believe no one’s ever done this before?) The event will take place on Wednesday, September 14 at 7 p.m. at WriteByNight headquarters, located at 1305 E. 6th Street, Suite 4, Austin. So, if you’re excited about the opportunity to come together with other writers and editors to mingle with Austin’s diverse writing community, click here to RSVP. ($3 suggested donation) We’ll see you there!
