In the interests of further cultivating and connecting the writing community of Memphis, story booth is hosting the fourth edition of Crosstown Arts‘ Working Writers’ Cocktail Hour, on Wednesday, June 8, from 5:30 to 7 pm, in conjunction with sponsor Memphis Daily News.
All writers who live and work in Memphis–whether writers of poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, screenwriting, playwriting, journalism, art writing, music writing—are invited to visit story booth for an hour (or so) to do what it normally takes an expensive conference to make happen during the down-times: bring a group of writers together to mingle, have a drink, and make connections with other working writers they may or may not have known before. The founding idea of San Francisco Writers’ Grotto serves as some inspiration here: “Our original hypothesis–that community nurtures productivity–has proven abundantly true.”
Whether your day-job is writing-related or not–if you work at writing, this means you.
This event is free. story booth’s address is 438 N. Cleveland Ave.
