working writers’ cocktail hour: special edition, Election Day +1

join us for this special Election Day + 1 recovery edition of the Working Writers’ Cocktail Hour. if you’re a writer of any kind who finds yourself confused, bemused, or needing welcome shelter the day after, you’ll find good company here.

in the interests of continuing to further cultivate and connect the writing community of Memphis, story booth is hosting this special edition of the Working Writers’ Cocktail Hour, on November 9, 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.

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.

working writer’s cocktail hour

in the interests of further cultivating and connecting the literary community of Memphis, story booth is hosting the second edition of Crosstown Arts’ Working Writers’ Cocktail Hour to help usher in the second-annual Mid-South Book Festival.

presenting authors in town for the festival are welcome, college and MFA students to early/mid-career/accomplished (meaning published and not-yet-published) writers who live and work in Memphis are welcome too. whether writers of poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, screenwriting, playwriting, journalism, art writing, music writing—all are invited to visit story booth for an hour or so to do what it normally takes an expensive retreat to make happen: bring a group of writers together to stand around, have a drink, and make connections with other working writers they may or may not have known before.

whether or not your day-job is writing makes no difference — if you’re a working writer, you’re invited.
