aspiring essayists reading club

on saturday mornings, the aspiring essayists reading club will read and discuss the work of a great essayist. our focus is personal essays and craft essays. we will read the essays during the meetup, so no prior reading is required! however, basic prior knowledge about the author may improve the experience.

we will cover both older and contemporary essayists— past entries include jia tolentino, david foster wallace, and ursula k. le guin. while this group is primarily designed for writers trying to improve their craft, all essay enthusiasts are welcome!

if you would like to take the energy from this group into your writing process, please join us at hugo house book bar (tuesday, wednesday, and thursday evenings) for our drop-in writing hangouts. we hope to see you there!
