Please make sure you register for this event to secure your place!
The premise is simple, really. You're a writer of some sort. Maybe you're working on an article, a book, a journal entry, or a love letter to your childhood crush -- we're not fussy about what it is you do. We just know that sometimes as a writer, you get cooped up behind your laptop alone for too long and could use a bit of community to make more progress.
So, come write with us.
Bring whatever you need (computer, pen, etc) and we'll take a quiet hour to simply write together. At the end, if you'd like to share a bit of what you worked on, we'll have some time to do that, too, but no pressure.
This is an easy way to meet others who share the same hobby or profession, make some new friends, and possibly grab a glass of natural wine or some dinner while you're at (yeah, we do that, too!).If you wish, please do join us a little earlier from 6-7.30pm for some pre-event mingling. A chance to grab a bite to eat, drink, and meet like-minded people.
See you there!

More info about this month's book:
When a pair of detectives from the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation arrive in Money, Mississippi, to investigate a series of brutal murders, they find at each crime scene an unexpected second body: that of a man who resembles Emmett Till. After meeting resistance from the local sheriff, his deputy, the coroner, and a string of racist white townsfolk, the MBI detectives suspect these are killings of retribution. Then they discover eerily similar murders taking place in rapid succession all over the country. The past, it seems, refuses to be buried. The uprising has begun. In this provocative page-turner that takes direct aim at racism and police violence, Percival Everett offers a devastating critique of white supremacy and confronts the legacy of lynching in the United States.
This book is available to purchase at Fable. From November 1-7th, a limited amount of books have been set aside for our book club registrants to buy. Simply purchase your ticket, pop into the store and show your confirmation to a member of the team. Please note we only have a limited amount available - so first come, first serve!
