    This evening group meets on the third Thursday of each month.

    Inklings are regular, casual meetings which take place in multiple locations.

    Bring several copies of your current work, up to three pages, double-spaced. This smaller group is more conducive to individualized questions and story problem-solving.

    After our time in the private meeting room, you can spread out in the library for concentrated writing time. If you have questions, contact us.

    Inklings are regular, casual meetings which take place in multiple locations.

    Members can bring several paper copies of their work in progress (WIP). For the first hour, we read aloud and handwrite critiques. No matter how new you are to writing, you have something to offer. Sometimes we have an impromptu brainstorm session. Often, we just fellowship. This smaller group is more conducive to individualized questions and story problem-solving.

    After our time in the private meeting room, you can spread out in the library for concentrated writing time. If you have questions, contact us.

    Inklings are regular, casual meetings which take place in multiple locations.

    At the Alchemist, we encourage you to purchase a drink or snack to show our hosts that we are grateful for the use of their location.

    The coffee shop is bustling, so it’s a good idea to bring earbuds for private writing time. This Inklings will be available for critiques, conversation, word count sprints, and impromptu story problem solving—but we will focus a bit more on just writing. Look for a table with ICW on the reservation card.

    If you have questions, contact us.

    Inklings are regular, casual meetings which take place in multiple locations. This group meets the first and third Thursday of each month and currently meets at Royal Coffee.  

    Royal Coffee is located adjacent to The Fountain Square, in the eatery which houses Calle 75 and Rice Works. When we use public eating facilities, we encourage you to order food or drink to patronize the businesses.

    Members can bring several paper copies of their work in progress (WIP). For the first hour, we read aloud and handwrite critiques. No matter how new you are to writing, you have something to offer. Sometimes we have an impromptu brainstorm session. Often, we just fellowship. This smaller group is more conducive to individualized questions and story problem-solving.

    If you have questions, contact us.

    Our summer meetings will be a casual time of writing encouragement and fellowship. Depending on the size and desires of the group, we will brainstorm, critique, chat and play writing games.

    We meet monthly, on the second Tuesday, at the The Creative Space.

    What typically happens when we gather? We typically have a speaker who shares about the craft or the writing journey. We also have a time for networking and sharing genres, goals, and prayer requests.

    This event is free for members, and we welcome you to visit us twice if you are not a member. If you decide to continue, we ask that you become a member or pay a drop in fee of $8.
